In 1975, lamination over the bearer's photograph was introduced to make alteration harder.

Overprinting of the laminate was added in 1981 to make removal easier to spot.

In 1979, UK exchange controls were abolished, and the foreign exchange page was removed.

Passport number has a prefix P denoting it was issued by Passport Office in Peterborough.
