Gibraltar passport

The Gibraltar passport is a British passport issued to Gibraltarians and other British residents in Gibraltar.
As a result of the British Nationality Act 1981 Gibraltarians were British Overseas Territories citizens by default, but could apply for registration as a British Citizen ("an entitlement that cannot be refused") under section 5 of the Act. They are considered UK Nationals for EU Community purposes (making them full citizens of the European Union) with all consequential rights and entitlements.^[1] Under The British Overseas Territories Act (2002) all British Overseas Territories Citizens have the right to register as British Citizens.^[2]
Gibraltar passports are issued by the Gibraltar Passport Office. Subsequent to 2005, passports issued in Gibraltar have been biometric.
