Hi,
I have just been granted British citizenship having previously been in the UK under ILR. I am in the process of applying for my 1st passport and wanted to query the documents that I am required to send.
In some parts of the website it seems to indicate that I send my application, photos etc along with my citizenship certificate. However, in other parts of the guidance it seems to indicate that they would want my Brazilian birth certificate (translated) as well as my father's (who is also Brazilian) birth certificate. He still lives in Brazil so this would require him to send in the secure post, which would be costly and time consuming. I am due to travel at the end of February so this would really jepoardise that trip.
Ths requirement for birth certificates seems a little over the top considering I have provided lots of detail on my parents as part of the citizenship application. Have I understood this correctly? Both of my parents are Brazilian and remain in Brazil so I am not applying in anything relating to them.
I was considering just traveling on my Brazilian passport, but I have now returned my BPR so I guess when I return to the UK from The Netherlands that it would be an issue?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated - thanks.
