Five Nations Passport Group
The Five Nations Passport Group is an international forum between the passport issuing authorities in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States to "share best practices and discuss innovations related to the development of passport policies, products and practices",[1] thereby ensuring that the five countries work collectively towards achieving a secure travel document, safe international travel and protecting national borders.[2]
The annual Five Nations Passport Conference is a largely informal in-person meeting between officials of the passport issuing authorities of UK, USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (in 2011 also Ireland). It has taken place at least as far back as 2004.[3]
