A Refugee Travel Document is a travel document issued to a refugee living in UK who wishes to travel to another country. The Refugee Travel document looks like a blue passport. It is sometimes referred to as a 1951 Convention Travel Document or as a Geneva Passport. A Refugee Travel Document is issued to refugees.

Technically, a UK Refugee Travel Document is not a passport, although it serves a very similar function. While a passport is issued by a person's country of citizenship to prove their nationality, a Refugee Travel Document (often called a 1951 Convention Document or a "Geneva Passport") is issued to individuals who have been granted refugee status and cannot obtain a passport from their home country. It is a blue, booklet-style document that looks and feels like a passport and is recognized by most countries for international travel. However, it does not grant the holder British citizenship or a British passport. In 2026, refugees in the UK use this document to travel to most countries, though they must check if a specific visa is required for their destination, as the "visa-free" travel perks of a standard British passport do not apply. Crucially, the document cannot be used to travel back to the country of origin from which the refugee fled, as doing so would imply they no longer need protection and could lead to the revocation of their refugee status in the UK.
