Hi there,

What details of grandparents are you supposed to provide with your application for first adult passport through naturalisation?

I didn't include these details as it's marked as an (X) on the table and when I tried to submit my application today through check & send I was told I need to provide my grandparents details.

The booklet states that they require your grandparents birth certificates & marriage certificates as your claim to British nationality. Obviously as my application is naturalisation, this doesn't apply.

Hi, me and my husband didn't fill this section. Only for parents. Check and send was ok! Go back in post office and explain you are applying as naturas.. citizen. Good luck!
