Hi everyone!

Good to join this community.

I have a question about passes that has probably been answered before, but I can’t find relevant threads. I wondered if anyone could kindly help me?

I’m a dual Irish-British citizen born in London, grown up in London and living in London. I understand that I need to buy an Interrail pass, rather than a Eurail one - that’s pretty clear to me from this link: https://www.interrail.eu/en/support/interested-in-interrailing/do-i-need-an-interrail-or-eurail-pass

It also says here ‘If you're a legal resident of Europe but not a citizen, we ask for your country of residence when you place an order.’ This also makes sense.

However this implies that if you are a citizen of Europe, they won’t ask for your country of residence?

But then it says ‘If you have more than one passport or official residency (dual citizenship), the Pass you use must be based on where you actually live: If you have 2 European passports, use the passport or national identity card (ID) of the country you live in to order your Interrail Pass.’

For reasons which may be obvious, I’d rather use my Irish passport to travel over my British one. The above statement sounds like I’ll need to use my British one… *cries in passport stamping*.

It seems odd that one must order the pass and presumably travel on it using the passport of the country they reside in. For much of my life, I never even had a British passport, I only had an Irish one and have never resided in Ireland. Therefore if someone with an Irish passport living in Britain wanted to buy an Interrail pass, they’d just use their Irish passport?

Basically, my question is, as an Irish person with only a UK address, can I just ignore my British passport altogether in the booking and using of my Interrail pass?

Many thanks for any advice
