A bit about UK station exit checks
Why are there new checks?
Since April 2015, we’ve been legally required to do extra passport checks for everyone travelling from our UK stations.
Where are these checks?
At St Pancras International, there’s an extra check by UK authorities between the x-ray machines and French passport control.
What do they involve?
Our security team scan each passport with a handheld gadget and check that the photo in the passport is of the traveller. It only takes a few seconds.
Entry visas and passport validity
We can’t offer advice about passport validity or visas, so please always check with the local embassy or consulate before making a booking.
