Why is it not common knowledge? to the UK general public regards passport validity, whilst travelling from the UK-EU. The rules stipulate ‘ISSUE DATE’ issued less than 10 years ago and at least 3 months left before expiry date.
Over and over again, individuals are been turned away at UK check-in desks/borders. Having no clue their ‘ISSUE DATE’ has expired?

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Whether to request the issue date of passport holders is a matter for individual travel companies, not the Government or Parliament.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
