Manx passport

The Isle of Man passport is a British passport issued by the Chief Secretary's Office of the Isle of Man Government to British citizens and British subjects connected to the Crown Dependency of the Isle of Man^[1].

British passports issued in the Isle of Man are slightly different from those issued to residents of the United Kingdom. In the case of British citizen passports, the words EUROPEAN UNION still appear across the top of passport covers, signifying the special status of the Isle of Man and its population in relation to the EU. British subject passports issued in the Isle of Man do not refer to the European Union^{[citation needed]}.
Isle of Man passports do not carry the words "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" on the front cover. In their place, these passports feature the words BRITISH ISLANDS — ISLE OF MAN. The passport note request inside the front cover is also slightly different, coming from the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man rather than the UK Secretary of State.
Unusually, therefore, the words EUROPEAN UNION and ISLE OF MAN appear together on Isle of Man British citizen passports, even though the territory of the Isle of Man is not part of the European Union. This is because the bearer is a full British and European Union citizen, although (as set out below) an endorsement may apply in the case of some citizens.
