Does anyone know if it is possible to find an old passport application? My late Father travelled to America in 1925 but his passport that I have doesn't start till 1937. I think he may have had 2 previous passports and would love to find a record of these applications.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you

Passport applications from 1791 to 1925 are available through the National Archives. However, applications less than 75 years old may have viewing restrictions. The National Archives has indexes for many applications from 1834-1923.

If the reason you want to see a passport application is to find out when he travelled and his destination, if he travelled from the UK he is likely to be listed in the Outgoing Passenger Records. If you wish you can PM me with his name and year of birth and I will check for you.
