What's the furthest I can get without a passport?

If you travel north you can do all of Scotland. You can then cross over to Northern Ireland from Stranraer to Larne and do the whole of the island of Ireland. Exit via Northern Ireland (Belfast to Liverpool by Norse ferries). All this could be done by 'public transport' but it would be easier by car!

I have a feeling that you MAY be able to travel to the continent by certain sea routes without having a passport as long as you can prove that you are who you claim to be. You can certainly go to the Channel Islands by ferry without a passport.

Anywhere within the UK !!

The coastline unless you have a boat, you may get further.

ireland... don't need a passport to go to the republic of ireland... driver licences may be needed tho

The Fixer

You need a passport once you leave UK territory, even within the EU.

This means you would be restricted to domestic travel within the UK itself.

From Birmingham I reckon that the furthest you could travel to in terms of land is the North shore of Unst, one of the Shetland Islands, which are situated off the North coast of Scotland towards Norway.

There would of course be nothing stopping you from theoretically from getting in a boat and sailing in International waters until you were right on the diametric opposite side of the earth from Birmingham, somewhere in the Southern Ocean

If you have a yacht, you can go all around the world, as long as you don't land.

You're limited to travel within the UK, UK Crown Dependancies, and Ireland.

You will need a passport to get to the Falklands as you have to go via Santiago so will need one there.
You can go to Gibraltar with out a passport, but you will need something to prove you are a UK National (ie a Passport)

Technically you can travel anywhere within the EU as an EU citizen without a passport. That is one of the benefits of the Union- freedom of movement. However, in order to proove you are an EU citizen you need a passport! You could try doing it with just your driving license as ID - good luck!

I can understand your predicament - if I lived in Birmingham, I'd want to get as far away as possible too!

~Natacha~

You asked where the furthest is that you can go, so from experience you could go to the Shetland Isles. Quite far from Birmingham!

I used to sail up there so we just pleased ourselves. You could probably go anywhere in Europe on a small sailing boat providing you stayed away from marinas and the coastguard.

Depends whether you want to be returned ignominiously by a foreign Police force or not. If you chance it, you can get quite far in this world. You might not travel in style.

For practical purposes, if you can manage to get to mainland Europe, you can travel around most of Europe without a passport courtesy of the Shengen agreement. You will be asked for a passport or some form of ID to stay in hotels though. Likewise if you try to use credit cards.

Thus, if you want to legally travel without a passport, you won't get off mainland Britain. I don't know if they require a passport to get to the islands.

Its worth the expense and hassle to get a passport. It offers you ease to travel and a protection when you're in trouble in a foreign country.

Nutty M&M

Ireland, Channel Islands or, in theory, Falkland Islands, as a British principality, you should not need a passport to get there!

I Have been lead to believe that as long as you have valid photographic ID you can travel to scotland, england, ireland and Wales, not too sure about going anytwhere abroad though.
