Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to leaflet distributed with newly issued passports by HM Passport Office, if she will correct an errant apostrophe in that leaflet on the passage relating to writing your passport number and its date of issue on the front of the leaflet.

This error has been corrected in the latest version of the leaflet which accompanies newly issued passports.

While the corrected version of the leaflet was introduced in November 2021, the previous version will continue to be in circulation for a short period until the remaining stock is exhausted.
