What will happen to our passports as the UK votes to leave the European Union?

UK passport

It's the one document you don't want to lose before you jet off on your holidays.
Passports cost a lot of money to replace and can take weeks to arrive (if you don't pay extra for the one-day fast track.)
But as many eagle-eyed jet setters will have noticed, our passports say ' European Union ' across the top of them.
Naturally, this has caused a lot of people to worry about what would happen if the UK voted to leave the European Union - so now we have, what next?



All countries issue documents with burgundy covers, embossed with the words 'European Union' at the top, followed by the name of the country, its coat of arms, the word 'passport' and the biometric passport symbol at the bottom.

So, will we have to apply for new ones? Will we have to pay the full amount? If everyone's applying for them, will it take months for the backlog to clear?

I hope some people read wide and learn about menstrual health to stop the stereotype against young girls and women.
