By The blue British passports is set to return after nearly 30 years.
The first will be issued next month, the Home Office has said.
The current design is being replaced, following the UK’s departure from the European Union.
The first time Blue passports were introduced was in 1921 and eventually phased out after 1988 when members of the then European Economic Community agreed to harmonise designs.
Home Secretary Priti Patel said the passport will “once again be entwined with our national identity”
The announcement comes at as EU leaders failed to make a breakthrough in talks on the bloc’s €1tn budget after member states clashed over rebates claimed by some of the region’s richest member states.
An emergency summit broke up on Friday night without any deal, after an attempt by leaders to broker a compromise was rejected by all sides.
The main battles were between EU countries willing to increase their contributions to Brussels to cover the lack of British funds following Brexit and those who wanted to cut costs.
