It is described as a 'new era in history'
A change will be made to UK passports for the first time in 70 years. Prior to her death in September of last year, UK passports were issued by the late Queen Elizabeth II, under Her Majesty's name.
However, the first British passports bearing the title "His Majesty" and issued in the name of King Charles III will start being sent out this week. It is the first time since 1952 - the end of the reign of the last male monarch, Charles' grandfather King George VI - that they have been issued under the title "His Majesty".
The first page contains a representation of the Royal Arms and will now read: "His Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires in the name of His Majesty all those whom it may concern to allow the bearer to pass freely without let or hindrance, and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary."
UK passports issued in the name of the late Queen remain valid travel documents. Her Majesty's Passport Office is now known as His Majesty's Passport Office.
