Was scanned though, no-one on my flight was stamped. Seems this is a regular thing...but what happens on leaving? Clearly there's an electronic record of my arrival, is that sufficient?
 
Just been chatting to a group off Brit women, one was stamped and two weren't so I suppose it's no big deal if the passport has been scanned
 
As @MelvinDeath says, new procedures come in very soon and it may be some sort of cross over period. I’m expecting a few queues in a few weeks when i travel.

“the Entry/Exit System (EES), which begins October 12, 2025, requiring non-EU travellers to register fingerprints and facial images at borders”

Thx, reassuring! If it's recorded by a scan, then I assume it will be scanned on exit.

Pity really, my pass is brand new and Ibiza ❤️ could have been my first and last stamp before EES takes over!

Try asking the border police to stamp the passport.

Here in Germany, they don't stamp passports of German citizens, but will do if you ask (I always ask them after leaving the US, so that I have a proof of departure from the US in my passport).

I did ask, there were two at the desk, but they just waved me away. Either it's the new system early, or they couldn't be arsed. Think it's a bit of both...

On exit for me it was a little busier than usual and the officer was there so I still went to them out of habit whilst everyone else scooted by, if ever there was a sign that someone isn't thinking straight and to give them a bag check it would have been me 😂
