USA (including territories) British Citizen passports issued before 26 October 2005 must be machine- readable. A British passport is machine-readable when there are two lines of letters, numbers and chevrons (<<<<<<) printed across the long edge of the personal information page (the page with photograph and personal details). The machine- readable text will appear on a white strip on older passports and directly on the page on newer passports. If there are no such lines of text on the personal information page, the passport is not machine-readable.
If your passport was issued between 26 October 2005 and 26 October 2006 then it must have a digitally applied photograph (a digital photo is one that is printed on the page, not a photo that is glued or laminated into the passport). At the time of printing this information, any passport that is issued on or after 26 October 2006 must be biometric if used to travel to the United States.
If your passport
is issued after this date and is machine readable but not biometric, you will need to obtain a full US visa. Passports issued at embassies overseas for British Citizens may not be machine readable or biometric.
