The British Passport content A technology weapon Against the Counterfeiting. An image of Britain as a rural idyll of village greens, stately homes and the white cliffs of Dover is presented in the new design of the UK passport unveiled today to be introduced in October. Passport chiefs also intend to use the British weather as their latest weapon against counterfeiters. Met Office weather symbols are to be overprinted on most pages with the mixture of isobars and fronts providing a picture of an overwhelmingly overcast country with little sunshine. The images used in the passport do not include the union flag or any European Union symbols. Instead the white cliffs of Dover, the Gower peninsula in Wales, Ben Nevis in Scotland and the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland were chosen to represent the four nations of the United Kingdom. The images of picture postcard Britain emerged as a result of a competition among Identity and Passport Service staff. They include pictures of village greens, Blenheim Palace, Durdle Door in Dorset, fishing villages, beach huts, canals, dry stone walls and lakes full of brown trout. Wildlife portrayed includes terns, fulmars and dragonflies.
