Can I have more than one UK passport at the same time?

Question

I travel to both Israel and the Arab states quite a lot these days so it would be very handy if I could have two identical passports for each set of stamps. Is this legal?

Answer 1

Not legally.  If you're worry about security traveling there, check with the Passport Office for ideas.

Answer 2

Only if you have a job with MI6. Apply here:

Answer 3

I don't think so.

Answer 4

If this is work related it is entirely possible to get a second passport as I do this for my colleagues.  You get the company you are employed by to write a letter stating there is a business reason for you to have one because you travel a lot and that one passport is in the embassy for visas a lot of the time.

Nope

Answer 9

Answer 10

I seem to recall that Israeli visa stamps are sometimes stamped on something other than your passport if requested, for the same reason that you are asking your question.

I'd ask the Israeli embassy to see if you will have your passport stamped anyway.

--edit--

Here's the blurb: -

'It is recommended that you request that an Israeli stamp does not appear on your passport. You must notify the clerk of your request before your documents are stamped. The granting of such requests is at the discretion of the authorities.'

Wikipedia has an entry on the question you are asking about, just  - go down to 'Countries that do not accept passports which contain Israeli stamps or visas': -

Answer 11

Yes it is legal, you would need to prove you have a requirement, then just apply, with note explaining position.
