Do I need a passport to travel within the UK?
No, you do not need a passport to travel within the United Kingdom (UK). As an official identification document, passports primarily serve as proof of identity and citizenship when traveling internationally. Within the UK, you can use various forms of identification, such as a driving license, identity card, or even a birth certificate, to establish your identity and travel freely. However, if you are planning to travel to other countries in the future, having a valid passport is mandatory. It is important to note that some airlines or transportation providers may require a form of photo identification, so it is always recommended to carry a valid ID when traveling domestically within the UK.
