The OCI card lists one's address. Does it need to be reissued if one moves?
And if one changes profession, does it need to be reissued as well?

Hi DK, The recent changes to Renunciation of Indian citizenship impacts children below 18 years. The solution for you is. 1. Travel to India in this July with your son's current passport 2. British citizenship applications will accept expired passport to apply for Naturalization. You don't need you...

I'm preparing for a replacement naturalisation certificate application, just in case I have to go ahead with it. Can't determine what documents I need from the form. Could someone please help?

I have filed a claim with RM and have written to the Passport Office.

Not sure what else I can do, such as seek advice from an immigration lawyer.

I was shocked to see that someone was fined for not returning the BRP within 5 days. post2113293.html#p2113293

I personally wouldn't do that as yet (unless you are certain that they have lost it). The reason is, that if HMPO gets your certificate, then that won't be valid anymore as you would have applied to replace it. They may refuse your passport application and you'll end up spending more money. You'll ...

Personally I would not contact the address given, unless/until you return the card or you respond to them if they write to you. We have quite a few threads about BRP returns but no substantiated reports about someone being fined. Thank you. I am looking at the process to get the naturalisation cert...

The same Royal Mail issue with me. I posted my two passports (one expired and one valid) and naturalisation certificate on Monday via signed for the next day by 1 pm. Still says the package left the facility and today is Thursday with no updates on Royal Mail tracking. I have read the thread for th...

Immigration BRP card and British passport are unrelated. Perhaps holding on to it for the time being might be a good idea - currently you don't have your original national passport or your original certificate (though you have copies I hope). So BRP currently is your only officially issued ID docum...

Let's hope the documents turn up. There's also an HMPO policy regarding "Dual Nationals" (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dual-citizens/dual-nationality), and they use the words "If a customer provides a foreign passport" more than once. Nowhere does it say "must". In any case, if docume...

It didn't reach today either. The Passport Office tracking and the Royal Mail tracking has not changed. Getting very worried now.

Therefore, even if I apply for a replacement naturalisation certificate, I can't get a passport again. How do I go about getting my first adult British passport without my current passport, since it's a required document? I trust your documents will be logged in soon by HMPO. Have you checked the H...

It takes a couple of weeks for the system to update, tbey receives 100s and 100s of applications everyday to get logged and sent for processing. Have a bit of patience. Hi Thank you for replying. I mean that the special delivery tracking has no updates. It is still saying we are expecting the item,...

Sent it via Special Delivery immediately after ceremony last week. However, it never updated on the system. I'm trying everything but Royal Mail doesn't know where my parcel is. My country of origin doesn't allow dual citizenship and so I can't get another passport. Therefore, even if I apply for a ...

After an application is submitted online, how many days does it take for the Passport Office to verify if the countersignatory meets their requirements?

Noting to do with the BRP. You can apply for passport as soon as you got the certificate.

Thank you. Do I need to inform the HO once I have attended the ceremony?

It will definitely cause unnecessary delay, it is not a straightforward process. Is it worth it?

Oh ok, thank you.

Just want to confirm whether the BRP has to be returned within a week of the ceremony, before one can get a passport?

Easier to attend whenere you were at the council. To change, you have to request it, the council then send the certificate back to ukvi. They then yake however long to send it to a new council. It can take many weeks. Thank you. Would that create an issue also because the ceremony must take place w...

Hello, I've moved from the place that I was previously in and now I'm in a different city.

How can I change the council for the ceremony?

I read that approvals are sent out by email but could someone please confirm how refusals are sent out? Is it by email or by post? Thank you. Decisions I.e. approvals and refusals can be sent by email and some people get it only when the pick up their passport/documents from VAC or by courier. Isn'...

Sorry to hear about your divorce.

How long ago did you apply?

The Home Office is well known to be tardy with record keeping. Also consider that paper documents aren't necessarily scanned into their system, or incomplete. This should be better with online application, but who knows. As far as the degree is concerned shouldn't you get an official copy from the ...

Would the detailed SAR not include this information? Do I need to make a specific request?

Do they provide photocopies of supporting documents that were submitted with a previous immigration application?
