A passport from a county that no longer exists must surely be cancelled by default;instant_goldfish wrote:Hi. I'm not married but my problem is kind of related. I changed my forename by deed poll a few years ago because I didn't know about this rule, and now my "British name" doesn't match the one in the passport I travelled here with. Is it simply a matter of doing the deed poll process backwards and sending HMPO the latest deed poll with my passport application?
Additionally, my only passport is from a country that doesn't even exist anymore (Yugoslavia for anyone curious), so is there a chance that counts as cancelled and I don't need to do this? I could definitely argue that having an old Yugoslav passport is not proof of eligibility of citizenship for any of its successor states.
there is no need to submit cancelled passports with a passport application.
But if its your only passport its unclear how you can submit any proof of identity.
