UK removes 'European Union' title from British passport
As Britain looks to extend its stay in the European Union, it seems British passports haven’t followed the same path, Euronews reported.
New UK passports have been issued without the words ‘European Union’ on the front cover.
One person who received the passport said she was “truly appalled” by the removal of the EU from the passport.
“I was just surprised - we're still members of the EU. I was surprised they've made the change when we haven't left, and it's a tangible mark of something which I believe to be completely futile,” Susan Hindle Barone told the UK’s Press Association.
to remind, Britain was expected to leave the EU on the 29 March.
Prime Minister Theresa May has since requested two extensions, one granted and the latest a request by May on Friday for Article 50 to be extended up to June 30.
The UK is currently scheduled to leave on April 12, after a first extension was already granted.
