Re: First British passport after naturalization while holding CTD only

Thank you Alterhase - does that mean HMPO are not fixated on me sending my national passport and will accept CTD (current and expired)? It’s odd there is zero mention of this situation anywhere in the published guides…

Hello admins, Apologies if this was asked before. When I applied for naturalisation around a month ago, I didn't have my TD (to show the entry and exist stamps) since it was with the home office for renewal.

Re: Homeoffice Ref Number and name before marriage

If she started to have the new name when married then the date of the marriage is what you should use.

It’s not going to cause any harm if you don’t get the reference number right. Use the case number from ILR and they should be able to find your actual reference number on their system.

Re: Homeoffice Ref Number and name before marriage

Use your home office reference number which HO mentions usually on their letters to you. Not the case id.

Yes, mentioned the name before marriage and the date.

Re: Naturalisation without valid/expired passport to scan stamps from

Thanks much Toni! I have submitted the application and used my flight booking emails to tell my exits and re-entries. I have also sent them the bio page of the travel document. Now I know they can verify this without having to see the stamps. That’s great help thank you!

Re: Naturalisation without valid/expired passport to scan stamps from

Thank you - my main concern is not about having a valid or expired passport. My concern is I don't have a copy of the exit/entry stamps on my passports to show my absence from the uk. Would UKVI have my entry and exits on their system already? or do they need to see the stamps?
