Hello Antsmall. " --- I explicitly asked for transgender situations to be covered as well, --- " I hadn't realised the depth of your involvement in this. I'll take this opportunity to thank you on my behalf, my partners behalf, and on behalf of all Trans people. Finding people who understand the iss...

ok thanks again noajthan. I'll update this thread as it progresses.

How would people manage, without help from boards like this one? --

And its possible for a former citizen to travel to Philippines on their new British passport and remain there up to one year (without visa) under balikbayan privilege. If partner has SSS there may be some changes to be updated there too; there's an SSS office next door to London embassy. Yes, that ...

Thanks noajthan. I think you have solved the problem for us. You'd think someone at the hmpo might have known about this. ;) And you'd think we would have known about it too. lol.

The trouble is, there isn't any legislation -- that I can find --- to show that the philippines doesn't allow gender re...

Hi both, Thanks for those prompt replies. Yup it is indeed tricky. I just rang hmpo application support, and was eventually passed to someone who was believed to know about this. But he knew nothing at all about it, and said that all brit passports must align with foreign docs. I was able to point h...

Hello all. I've joined this board for some urgent help. Specifically, --- what will HMPO accept as proof, that a foreign country does not allow gender or name change? My partner is a Transwoman. Happily she has just had her naturalisation application approved. This Thursday 17th November, she will r...
