The Nationality and Treaty Departments dealt with policy and individual cases relating to questions of nationality, visas and passports and extradition, and treaty administration matters. After the formation of the joint Foreign Office/Commonwealth Office department in April 1967, control of Commonwealth Office consular matter passed to a second joint Foreign Office/Commonwealth Office Consular Department.
