Passport question - Master or Mr??

[ArabellaUmbrella]

Does anyone know if I put Master or Mr as the title for my two DS aged 9 and 14? On their passport application forms.
Thanks

Master

I don't think titles are included on passports, so would put master on both (which means when you book your husbands ticket as Mrs, the airline isn't bothered!)

If you have title of nobility it will show on your passport, but us normal Mr, Mrs, Ms etc it’s just names so put what you want

Mr.

Master is an old-fashioned affectation.

(in my opinion, obviously)

The letters from official places addressed to my son are "Master"
I was surprised when I saw that first time

Master's not an affectation, it's a simple way to indicate a male child isn't it?

On the 14 year old's one I would use Mr.

I would use Master under 18 and Mr over 18

Only on Mumsnet 😂

Master. Because if you had a DD you wouldn't question whether it was Miss or Mrs would you? Though, for men, they can age into Mr, women have to marry into Mrs.
One reason why I like Ms

Ok I'm just confused now
Hmm I think I'll ask when I do the check and send thing. Grobagsforever well may be but what would you suggest? We go away in 5 weeks so can't risk getting it wrong.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Espressobutler - exactly. And although it's not on the passport you do have to put something on the form. Mr Mrs Miss Other. Not very helpful!

It honestly doesn't matter.

I think DSs were Master until their last children's passport when I changed it to Mr.

Passports don’t have titles (or, for that other old myth, occupations) on them. You can have things like “Dr” or “Lord” put on the official observations page, and there’s some folklore than it’s unwise to have a ticket which says Dr (some tickets do include an honorific, it depends on the airline) if you don’t have that notation on your passport. But Master/Mr (or Mrs/Miss/Ms) don’t appear anywhere on passports, as there is no honorific on the data page and you can’t get them put in the official observations.

A friend of mine had a ticket booked as Dr (by which his employer knew him) before he had updated his passport (five years to run, recent award, who cares?). HIs employer paid for a new passport rather than changing the ticket, which was nice of them, but I suspect unnecessary.

I was taught that “Master” was only for male children up to age eight. So my 6 yr old is Mstr and my 10 yr old Mr.

I regard Master to signify a male child and Mr is for an adult male.

Doesn't matter that it's not on the passport - as OP said, it is on the application form. Another poor bit of form creation by HMG, who'd have thought.

If it doesn’t end up on the passport, then it’s not important what you put on the form. There is no central registry of honorifics, so there’s no “wrong” anyway. I recall having a Miss/Ms conversation with my daughters when we renewed their passports in their teens, but then realised it didn’t matter. If you put Dr and actually want it on the passport you have to supply evidence, but you can (for example) put Miss, Ms or Mrs for a woman and in fact if you put Mr I’d be surprised if it was rejected.
