Proof of Nationality

Key Points:

• Do NOT send your original passport, application material cannot be returned.
• Do NOT send copies of pages other than the one with your personal details and photograph.

Applicants must provide evidence of being a UK national by sending copies of the appropriate page of their United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passport. This should be the page that contains the applicant's personal details and photograph. It is generally the penultimate page or the inside back cover.

The copies must be clear and legible and the passport must be valid at the time of application. Both black and white, and colour photocopies will be accepted.

If you do not currently hold a United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passport at the time of application please provide copies of the appropriate page(s) of the passport you currently hold, or copies of a valid UK photocard driving licence plus a short note explaining why a photocopy from a UK passport cannot be provided.

No other forms of identification can be accepted. All applicants will be requested to present a valid passport if they are called in for interview. We therefore advise applicants whose passports are close to expiry to begin procedures to obtain a new one as early as possible. If you do not hold a full United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland passport by the April before departure you will automatically be disqualified from the JET Programme.
