I don't think that you can apply for your passport abroad considering you have to attend interview. About dual citizenship: http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... tionality/

In theory you can apply for your first passport from Pakistan, but it can take a long time. Let me stress, a looooong time. 6 months is the minimum, but in practice it can take well over an year.

I would say, do not apply for a passport from Pakistan ever.

Best to apply when you are in UK.

As all the passport service is being moved to the UK (not sure exactly when) the service should be streamlined.

No, some British people never have a British Passport.

Indeed. Your certificate of naturalisation is proof you are a British Citizen, there is no requirement to have a passport. Though, it is a good document to have for identification and travel. If you are staying in Pakistan for some time you might as well just apply for your British Passport from Pakistan.

OK my friend, now may I tell you in simple desi language.

After you attending ceremony at council you getting nationality certificate.

After this you applying passport in england if you wanting. Passport taking about one month to come in the post.

or

You can applying passport from Pakistan, that is also no problem, but passport taking 6 months to come.

or

You can go to Hong kong and then applying for passport, that is also no problem.


or

You can go South africa and then applying for passport, that is also no problem.

or

You can applying for passport from any country in the world, that is also no probelm.



You can applying for passport one day after you getting certificate in the ceremony.

or

You can apply after one month, or one year, or 10 years.

Whenever you wanting to apply, it no problem.
