One-way document

This page explains what a one-way travel document is and who may apply for for one. For information about other types of Home Office travel document, see Travel documents.

The one-way document, known as an IS137, allows travel for one journey out of the United Kingdom only. It cannot be used to return to the United Kingdom. If you are currently in the United Kingdom and are a national of any other country, you may apply for a one-way document.

Children cannot be named on the travel document of their parent or guardian. They must apply for their own document.

See How to apply for information about making your application.
