Also the police in the British mainland must declare their loyalty to the monarch, but those in Northern Ireland don't have to... for obviously cultural reasons.
Oct 9, 2018 at 15:56	comment	added	user8398		While generally true, this answer is not correct with regards to a truly republican opinion. If you were a politician who refused to bend the knee (Sinn Fein) then you are not allowed to sit in parliament, take part in debates, or take a salary. Corbyn is not legitimately republican, he just pays lip service to the idea, because he still made the oath. Sinn Fein however do get elected, claim expenses, and visit government (but not the House). But not being allowed to speak in parliament or have a salary is a big issue.

Oct 5, 2018 at 20:53	comment	added	Sam OT		Yeah, sure :) -- I was just meaning that it's authorised in her name, as the head of state. So this doesn't mean that people have to be pro-monarch to have a passport -- not that you claimed that! I was just pointing out that it's not overly relevant :)
Oct 5, 2018 at 20:20	comment	added	JJJ♦		@SamT for the queen to travel abroad where she isn't queen, she must have her people arrange being allowed in (which I think is common for heads of state). I don't think she'd queue up in regular lines for customs or passport control. As for money, she has people for that too.
Oct 5, 2018 at 20:17	history	edited	Sam OT	CC BY-SA 4.0	Added reference
Oct 5, 2018 at 20:10	comment	added	Sam OT		@JJJ and Carcer -- note that the Queen authorises passports, so she has to be mentioned. Just like with drivers licences, and even I think money. That's why she doesn't have a passport, nor a drivers licence (let's be honest, she has other people to drive her anyway!)
Oct 5, 2018 at 16:13	comment	added	Carcer		@JJJ having renewed my passport very recently, I can confirm that the page in question and reference to the queen is still in there.

Oct 5, 2018 at 13:29	comment	added	Sam OT		@Will Yes, you're right. I must confess, after reading other answers/comments, I forgot about the final sentence! Thank you for pointing this out (in a sensible, non-vindictive!) way; let me edit my answer accordingly :)
Oct 5, 2018 at 13:20	comment	added	Will		This answer only covers half the question; what about people applying for citizenship?

Oct 5, 2018 at 9:47	comment	added	JJJ♦		Does the British passport still have a page referring the monarchy in it? There were calls to remove it some years ago, but I don't know if it's still in there.
