Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Travel Documents (Fees) Regulations 1999 so as to increase the fee for a Convention travel document or a document of identity from £28 to £42. This increase is in line with the increase in the fee for a standard adult passport which came into force on 2nd October 2003.

Convention travel documents are issued in accordance with either Article 28 of the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees adopted on 28th July 1951 or Article 28 of the Convention relating to the Status of Stateless Persons adopted on 28th September 1954. Documents of identity are issued at the discretion of the Secretary of State to any foreign national in the United Kingdom and enable the holder to make one journey out of the United Kingdom.
