The Isle of Man passport (or Manx passport) is a British passport issued by the Cabinet Office of the Isle of Man Government to British citizens and British subjects connected to the Isle of Man, a British Crown Dependency. The passports are printed centrally in the United Kingdom, and dispatched directly from the printing centre to applicants. ==Appearance== British passports issued in the Isle of Man are slightly different from those issued in 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.. Because the Isle of Man is not part of the United Kingdom, its passports do not carry the words ''United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland'' on the front cover and on the biodata page. In their place, they have the words ''British Islands: Isle of Man''. The request inside the passport's front cover "to allow the bearer to pass freely" and to give "such assistance and protection as may be necessary" is made by the Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man. In United Kingdom passports, this request is issued in the name of "Her Britannic Majesty's 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. The illustration shows the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, instead of The Arms of Her Majesty in Right of the Isle of Man. 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「Isle of Man passport」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
