Passports and other travel documents & vaccinations

Hi:)

Is there a site where we can search for passports, visas, etc applied for and issued? Also, were health checks, vaccinations, carried out on folk travelling outside of the country including if they got any shots for possible diseases; and was this info included on their travel documents?

All the best,

dennis

Hi Dennis:

Depending on the date of issue of the passport, there may/may not be a record of immunization. Of 5 passports issued to me, 3 have a record of immunization.

You could try the National Archives
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/films/

or the British Foreign Office

There's the Register of Passport Applications 1851-1903 available at FindmyPast.com

Also have a look at a Google Books preview page from Mark Herber's excellent "Ancestral Trails" at http://tinyurl.com/6lw2fs

Thanks, Chris. I was on 'FindmyPast' looking for a list, but got sidetracked

as I sometimes do
