EU doesn't stamp anything. Do you mean the Schengen Area?humble wrote:hello there..
i am an american that also has UK citizenship.
when traveling from amaserdam to london by train:
1) does the EU stamp an EXIT on a UK passport in amsterdam or any other point?
2) does the UK stamp an entry for UK passport holders on the way in?? cause i hear that all they do is take a quick look at it and thats that. true??
Humble, you need to appreciate the way the Schengen area works. When travelling from one Schengen area country to another there is no immigration-style check, either on leaving one country or on entering the other.i was traveling in europe for a little bit (france, holland, germany) and nobody EVER checked my passport

That applies irrespective of the mode of travel ... car, train or flying. So if for example, and we have actually made this journey, you fly from Barcelona in Spain to Copenhagen in Denmark, no immigration checks at all, either on leaving Barcelona or on arrival in Copenhagen.
If you are in the Schengen area, and now just about to leave it, yes your passport will be checked.
Indeed I confirm that is exactly what we did ..... used our British passports as photo ID to check in ... the tickets tending to be e-tickets .... but having checked in there is a total lack of immigration control moving through to the departure lounge.if you are flying (whether domestically or internationally), the airline might want to see photo identification when you check in - obviously your passport will be the best form of ID here
