British Passport Atlanta

Atlanta has a population of over 6 million people, making it the 9th most populous metropolitan area in the United States. Atlanta is the capital of Georgia, which is the 8th most populous of the 50 states. The city and surrounding area—known as the Atlanta metropolitan area—is also the commercial capital of the Southeast United States and has the third-largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies in the country, including Coca-Cola, The Home Depot, Delta Airlines, UPS, Newell Brands, WestRock, and NCR Corporation.

Atlanta and the state of Georgia have a strong connection to the United Kingdom. Georgia was founded in 1733 as a British colony by James Oglethorpe, a British soldier and member of Parliament. The state of Georgia was one of the original 13 British colonies and was named after King George II. The colony was governed remotely from London for the first 20 years of its existence. Large numbers of English and Scottish settled Georgia, and today it is likely that nearly half of Georgia’s population can claim British heritage.

Atlanta has grown into an international city and has the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic. British Airways, Virgin Atlantic, and Delta Airlines all have nonstop service to London Heathrow from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Virgin Atlantic also offers nonstop service to Manchester from Atlanta. Over 100,000 U.K. citizens visit Georgia every year, making British tourists an important part of the state’s economy.

The U.K. is a leading investor in Georgia, operating over 300 facilities and employing over 20,000 Georgians. Atlanta is seen by many British companies as being a strategic foothold to the U.S. market, and recently has been a popular investment destination for financial technology companies. Georgia is also home to the U.S. operations of several British aerospace and logistics companies. Dunwoody (just north of Atlanta) is the U.S. headquarters of InterContinental Hotels Group, and Pinewood Studios—home of the James Bond franchise—has invested in Georgia by constructing a film production facility just south of Atlanta.

Atlanta’s sister city is Newcastle upon Tyne, a city that received a visit from the American civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr in 1967 when he received an honorary degree from Newcastle University. Today the University System of Georgia has over 40 study abroad programs in the United Kingdom, sending many American students each year to study at British universities and further strengthening the relationship between our two countries.

Atlanta is home to one of eight British consulates in the United States, providing services to British nationals in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you are a British national and require urgent assistance, you can reach the consulate by calling +1 404 954 7700. The British consulate in Atlanta can also provide an emergency passport if you are stuck abroad and need to return quickly to the United Kingdom.
