Who can get a collective passport? See the travel criteria for £39 document
A £39 group passport covers 5 to 50 British youths under 18, offering a cheaper alternative for travel to 17 European countries, UK government says.
- On March 16, 2026, His Majesty’s Passport Office announced a £39 collective passport, available on the UK government website, allowing organised youth groups to travel to selected European countries.
- To reduce costs, the scheme offers organised group travel for schools, Guides and Scouts, cutting expenses compared with adult passports from £94.50 and child passports from £61.50.
- Eligibility rules state schools, sixth form colleges, Guides, Scouts and other recognised youth organisations can use a collective passport for between five and 50 children, with all travellers British nationals under 18; group leaders must be British citizens aged 21 or above and UK residents.
- Groups should check visa rules with embassies or consulates because travellers using a collective passport may need a visa, and the passport becomes invalid if the named group leader cannot travel, so naming a deputy leader is recommended.
- Groups with over 50 children can apply for extra passports, travelling families are not eligible, and UK travellers must ensure they apply for the correct passport for their trip.
