British dual nationals: have you been prevented from travelling to the UK?

We would like to hear from British dual nationals who have been prevented from boarding a flight, ferry or train because they did not have a British passport or certificate of entitlement.

Have you been prevented boarding a flight, ferry or train because you did not have a British passport or certificate of entitlement proving your right to enter the UK?

From 25 February the Home Office says “international carriers will check all passengers for valid permission or status to travel to the UK – just as they currently do for visa nationals.

“The correct permission for British Citizens is a British passport or a foreign passport endorsed with a certificate of entitlement. At their own discretion, carriers may accept some expired British passports as alternative documentation.”

We would like to hear from you if you are a British dual national and have been refused board because of this new border control rule.
