The Gibraltar passport is a British passport issued to British Citizens and British Overseas Territory Citizen who live in, or have a connection(e.g. by birth) with 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 British citizens for EU purposes (making them full citizens of the European Union) with all consequential rights and entitlements.〔(Gibraltar's Status in the EU )〕 Under The British Overseas Territories Act (2002) all British Overseas Territories Citizens have the right to register as British Citizens.〔(Rights of BOTC's )〕 Gibraltar passports are issued by the Gibraltar Passport Office. Since 2005, passports issued in Gibraltar have been biometric. Gibraltarians travelling within the European Union, European Economic Area and Switzerland are entitled to use a Gibraltar identity card instead of a Gibraltar passport as a travel document. ==Differences== British passports issued in Gibraltar differ from UK issued ones only in some of the wording but otherwise have the same status. The word "Gibraltar" is added beneath "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and on the information page. The only other difference is that whereas UK-issued passports state that: on Gibraltar-issued passports, ''The Governor of Gibraltar'' replaces ''Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「British passport (Gibraltar)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
