"Crown and Parliamentary copyright (Crown copyright): Where a work is made by Her Majesty or by an officer or servant of the Crown in the course of his duties— (a.) the work qualifies for copyright protection notwithstanding section 153(1) (ordinary requirement as to qualification for copyright protection), and (b.) Her Majesty is the first owner of any copyright in the work." (The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, Chapter 48, Part I, Chapter X, Section 163, Subsection 1.) [1]
The provisions contained in the 1988 Act appear a blanket one, and nowhere in the Act specifies which works of the Government are ineligible for British Crown copyright; and the British Open Government Licence also appears to implicitly exclude, although not by name, British Immigration stamps issued by the Home Office (i.e., Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department) or the agencies thereof, therein or thereto ("other intellectual property rights, including patents, trade marks, and design rights; identity documents such as the British Passport") [2].

Keep This stamp does not surpass threshold of originality. Taivo (talk) 10:13, 21 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I think the issue is not the stamps, which are {{PD-ineligible}}, but the background. Yann (talk) 19:39, 22 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: Stamps are ineligible, background is DM. ChrisiPK (Talk|Contribs) 16:10, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
