More than one passport

[MunkeyBoy]

Is it possible to have more than one valid passport at one time?

It depends on your personal circumstances....many people in Northern Ireland do indeed hold two valid passports (UK & Eire)....You could hold a passport of the country of your birth and your parents nationality.

If you google for "Dual Nationality FAQ" you'll get loads of info.

If you mean two UK passports at the same time, it is, or used to be possible. I used to work for a big company whose staff travelled all the time, and we sometimes had to write to the Passport Office explaining that the office had to apply for a visa for a busy executive before s/he was even back from another trip. I believe that way some of their staff did indeed obtain two passports. The real reason was, of course, that they had to go to both the US and Libya, or perhaps other countries with poor diplomatic relations with each other, and they were careful to use always one passport for one country and another passport for the other country.
