Petition Action

Change the rule on specifying Place of Birth in the passports

Petition Details

Specifying place of birth in passports causes discrimination. Such detail should be kept on record but not shown on an individuals passport.
I am British but not by birth.
Example: I can not Transfer money from a certain country into my bank account in the UK simply because of my place of birth

Additional Information

When an individual is accepted as a British National and is granted British nationality, they MUST be treated as one and by providing the information of place of birth on legal documents affects this fact.
Individuals who have been accepted as British citizens are subjected to discrimination due to such information being specified on legal documents .
Such information MUST be kept on file to avoid DISCRIMINATION.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Only the town and not the country of birth is required to be included in a passport. In any case, it's illegal to discriminate on the grounds of race, including national origin.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
