UK People Wonder What Will Happen To Their Passports After The Demise Of Queen Elizabeth

Inside every UK passport, a statement is mentioned. The statement is, ‘Her Britannic Majesty’s Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.’ The UK passports have the name of the Queen and they may undergo changes to recognise King Charles III. People in the UK are in confusion about how things will turn out and if they need to make any changes to their UK passports legally.

Twitter is flooding with questions about the validity of the passports after the death of Queen Elizabeth.

Now that the Queen is gone, does this mean we need to update our passport? It says we’re under the protection of “her” Majesty on the front page. Asking for a friend.
