2. How do you qualify for a Home Office Travel Document?

To qualify for a Home Office travel document, other than a one-way travel document, you must be lawfully resident, and present in the UK in one of the eligible groups listed in sections 3, 4 or 5 of these notes.

3. Who qualifies for a 1951 UN Convention Travel Document?

A person who has been recognised as a refugee in the United Kingdom under the terms of the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, may apply for a 1951 UN Convention refugee travel document (blue).

A person who has come to the UK on a Family Reunion visa to join a refugee who is

present in the UK.

4. Who qualifies for a 1954 UN Convention Travel Document?

A person who has been recognised as stateless under the terms of the1954 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Stateless Persons, may apply for a 1954 UN Convention Stateless Person’s Document (red).

5. Who qualifies for a Certificate of Travel?

Certificates of Travel (COT’s) are issued at the discretion of the Secretary of State and may be issued to people who are:

permanently resident in the United Kingdom (UK), or

have been granted Humanitarian Protection (HP) or Discretionary Leave (DL) to enter or remain in the UK for a limited period, following an unsuccessful asylum application, and

can provide documentary evidence that they have been formally and, in the view of the

Secretary of State, unreasonably refused a passport by the government of the country of which they are a national. This evidence should be obtained before an application for a COT is made and submitted with the application. Only original documentation is acceptable. Failure to provide this evidence may lead to the application being refused.

To be ‘formally and unreasonably refused’ a passport by their national authorities, an applicant must have applied for a passport in the manner required by their national authorities.


Applicants need to demonstrate why the refusal is unreasonable. We do not consider it unreasonable for a national authority to refuse a passport because the applicant for example:

did not provide evidence to confirm their identity and nationality, is required to complete required military service; or has a criminal record in their country. did not comply with tax legislation in their home country.

We do make exceptions in cases where HP has been granted following the refusal of asylum, where it has been accepted that such persons have a fear of the authorities of their country. These people may not need to send us a letter from their embassy or high commission. People who have been granted HP for other reasons e.g. family circumstances, or because of a medical condition, must apply for a passport from their national authorities.

Where applicants meet the criteria, because their country of nationality:

does not have the ability to issue national passports in the UK, is unable to accept applications that can be processed by their national authorities overseas,

requiring such people to prove their application has been unreasonably refused may be discounted.

This will depend on the reasons why the embassy is unable or unwilling to accept an application.

Applicants who need to travel urgently, must submit evidence explaining the need for urgent travel. We will consider exceptionally issuing a COT of limited validity to meet that short term need. In all cases, original documentary evidence of the need to travel, and a receipt from their embassy for their passport application, must be submitted

In addition, in cases where an applicant meets the criteria and they provide evidence that their embassy is considering their application for a passport, but this will take an unreasonably long time, and the person can prove that they have an urgent need to travel, we will consider exceptionally issuing a COT of limited validity to meet that short term need. The applicant must submit original documentary evidence of their need to travel, and a receipt from their embassy for their passport application.

Acceptable urgent travel reasons may include

essential employment or business reasons; compelling, compassionate reasons; religious reasons or other compelling reasons why it is essential for the applicant to travel or; essential educational trips.

A holiday is not considered an urgent reason for travel.

6. Do not apply for a Home Office Travel Document if you have less than 6 months leave to remain in the UK. Do not apply for a Home Office travel document if you have less than 6 months leave to remain. It is not possible to issue a Home Office travel document for longer than your permission to remain in the UK, and most countries will not accept a travel document with less than 6 months’ validity. If you wish to extend your leave in the UK, you should make an application for further leave to remain in the UK. Any such application will be considered by the appropriate section within UK Visas and Immigration.

It will not allow re-entry into the United Kingdom. It is valid for one year, but is designed for immediate use. Evidence of identity must be provided with the application.

9. Which countries can you travel to with a Home Office travel document?

Before making travel arrangements, you should check with the embassy of the
