The Five Nations Passport Group is an international forum for the passport-issuing authorities of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States to share best practices in the issuance, development, and management of passports.[1][2] The annual Five Nations Passport Conference is a largely informal in-person meeting between officials of the participating agencies, with some additional invited guests such as the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in 2011. It has taken place since at least as far back as 2004.[3]
The member states' issuing authorities are comparable to each other: their passport issuance systems are mostly centralised and their service channels are similar to each other.[4] None of the Five Nations countries has a compulsory identity management system, which means that citizens' personal information is not available in a central citizenship database or registry.[4]
