Passports issued in Jersey are British passports. There is no such thing as a “Jersey” passport. The Jersey variant British passport is issued by the Jersey Passport Office on behalf of the Crown and is printed and delivered from the UK.

Residents of Jersey, a British Crown Dependency, are issued British passports, but they have a distinct design that reflects the island's unique constitutional status. The front cover of a Jersey-issued passport prominently features the words "British Islands – Bailiwick of Jersey" instead of "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." However, the holder is still considered a British Citizen, and the passport grants the same international travel rights and consular protection as a standard UK passport. In 2026, Jersey remains part of the Common Travel Area (CTA), meaning there are no passport controls for travel between Jersey and the UK, though airlines often require a government-issued photo ID for security checks. Following Brexit, Jersey-issued passports no longer grant the automatic right to live or work in the EU, matching the status of standard UK passports. If you are a Jersey resident, you apply for your passport through the local Jersey Passport Office rather than the UK's HM Passport Office.
