Endorsements
Prior to the UK's withdrawal from the European Union, British passports issued by the States of Guernsey to people who are regarded as 'Channel Islanders or Manxmen' under Protocol 3 of the Treaty of Rome had an endorsement included to the following effect: Although British citizens who only had a connection to Guernsey were European Union citizens (an EU citizen being defined by the Treaty of Maastricht as a person holding the nationality of a Member State), they did not have EU Freedom of Movement Rights. However, if an applicant for a Guernsey passport was regarded as "having a close connection to the United Kingdom" (i.e. they had lived in the UK for five years, were born in the UK, or had parents or grandparents born in the UK), their passports would not include such an endorsement and they would be fully eligible to benefit from European Union Freedom of Movement rights.Previous designs
Prior to the current design being brought in during 2020, in common with other British passports, the design was red and was adorned with the words "European Union".
