just to double check that you are saying it will be fine when applying for British passport.averagejoe wrote:That passport will be fine.
On a separate note, since Pakistan allows dual nationality, id suggest renewing it at the embassy in London if she decided to go to Pakistan.

I am more concerned about her British passport application as oppose to the options on the Pakistani sidesolospy wrote:She don't need to extend her Pakistani passport.

The fact that my wife is in the UK whilst her passport is expired should be obvious in terms of the residency requirements and how much time she has spent abroad?
I am just triple checking
Many thanks

thanks for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated. Yes she has her BRP card which she used for her Life in the UK test. So is she ok not to renew her passport with the aim of sending it for her naturalization application? will she be fine just sending her expired passport and her BRP card?sagareva wrote:imranh wrote:Just to confirm - if my wife applied with that expired passport without renewing it then this will no way hinder the naturalization application?

having a valid passport as such is not a requirement for naturalisation
but she does have to have an id of some sort, and preferably the same id that was used for life in the UK test (but if it was the passport and it has now expired and you are sending it anyway, no foul then)
but she then has to use something else as primary ID
as a rule so long as she has a valid BRP it should be fine
It should be fine. For further peace of mind and immediate documents return, please click here and book NCS appointment, and apply. Good luck.imranh wrote:

The question (1.2) asks for the number of current passport.imranh wrote:Just a final daft question - where it states on the application form to enter passport number - would we just enter the expired passport number then?
Many Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
In this context (application form), "current" mean most recently issued passport .... not "unexpired" passport.noajthan wrote:An expired passport is not current.

Your current passport can be the one that has an expiry date that has passed. It is not asking for a "valid" passport. Also confirmed by staff at three NCS centres ... Welwyn Garden City, Redbridge, Luton ... way back in 2011.
