British-Danish couple say new UK passport rules may separate them from children

AI Summary

medium article 3 min

A British-Danish couple, James and Sara Scrivens, are concerned that new UK passport rules may separate them from their two British-born children at Copenhagen airport. The family, currently visiting relatives in Norway and Denmark, were unaware of the new Home Office rules requiring dual nationals to enter the UK on a British passport or a certificate of entitlement. The rule change impacts their children, who only hold Danish passports. The Scrivens fear their children may be denied boarding, potentially requiring them to stay with grandparents while a parent returns to the UK to apply for British passports. James Scrivens has contacted his MP to raise the issue with the Home Office, citing a lack of communication regarding the new regulations.
