Extract from London Gazette (No. 29044, of 19th Jan., 1915).

PASSPORTS.

The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs gives notice that it has been found necessary, in view of the present European War, to revise the system and form of passports granted to British subjects for travelling to foreign countries.

On the 1st February next all British passports held by British subjects who are in the United Kingdom, which were issued prior to the 5th August last, will become invalid.

Holders of such passports must make application for new passports in the proper form, which can be obtained from the Foreign Office and the usual agencies. Full particulars as to the new requirements will be found on the form.

Passports issued prior to the 5th August last and held by British subjects in France (including Algiers and Morocco), Spain, Portugal, Italy, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, will become invalid on the 1st March next. Applications for new passports in such cases must be made to the nearest British Consul.

In other countries the date on which such passports will become invalid will be the 1st August.

Passports issued between the 5th August, 1914, and the 1st February, 1915, will be valid for two years only; but if the holders contemplate proceeding to France or Belgium they must previously obtain a supplementary document and visa from a French or Belgium diplomatic or consular officer.

On and after the 1st February no person will be allowed to leave the United Kingdom for France or Belgium without a passport valid in accordance with these regulations.
