Gourt Home::Gourt :: Identity and Passport Service
The Identity and Passport Service is an Executive Agency of the Home Office in the United Kingdom which became operational on 1 April 2006 after the passing of the Identity Cards Act 2006.
It incorporates the former United Kingdom Passport Service and will work closely with the Home Office's Immigration and Nationality Directorate.
Its function is to provide passport services and in the future, when the National Identity Scheme becomes operational, ID cards for everyone resident in the UK, and to establish and update the associated database - the National Identity Register.
