ESTA and dual nationality

I'm travelling to the US at the end of the month. Last time I was in the US was 2017 and for ESTA I used my Spanish passport. Last year I became British citizen. Not sure which passport to use to enter the US now, if the Spanish one I used before or the British one. I live in the UK so I'd rather ca...

Re: Supporting documents after passport delivery

My supporting documents arrived Tuesday, just over week after receiving my passport. I paid for the secure delivery. I didn't get any email from the passport office saying the documents were being sent but I got one from TNT on the morning of delivery. You can track it using the same PEX number on t...

Re: British Passport return of Supporting documents

Update - you do get an email from HMPO stating that your documents are Out of Delivery on the day. You can also use this site instead to track: https://delivery.tnt.com/tracking Just enter your postcode and application reference number which is your Passport Application number without the PEX.

British Passport return of Supporting documents

How do we know when the supporting documents (original passport and certificate) are being sent after receiving the British passport? Do they tell you it's on the way? It doesn't say anywhere
I paid £5 for secure delivery

Re: First British passport - delay

If you receive documents received twice from HMPO it means they moved your application from one post to another. It happened to me. I sent my document to Peterborough but they moved to Liverpool after 12 days. I understand that they have a lot of backlog as a lot of people are applying for passport...

Re: Mistake in UK passport application

Re: First British passport - delay

When I asked him first he told me his profession should be fine, but after HMPO rejected him he told me that maybe he was rejected because he wasn't a manager anymore 🤷‍♀️. Anyway I asked another friend and she called HMPO to check, they confirmed that she should be fine to verify my identity. my f...

Re: First British passport - delay

If after the person you asked has verified your identity and you get an automated email saying so and another asking to send your documents, does that mean your referee was approved? or do they still need to check that person?. I worry because my referee doesn't have one of those professions listed...

British Passport countersignatory question

Hi,
can anyone tell me if they ever had a countersignatory rejected on the British passport application because their profession is not listed and they had just a supervisory role at their workplace and not a recognised profession ?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Now, another small annoyance is stopping me from getting my British passport. I don't want to apply for a passport right now, because my hair style during the lockdown is a total disaster, and I don't want that to be on my passport for 10 years. I will wait for the hairdressers and barbers to reope...

Blimey , I've just booked my ceremony with Hounslow council, I knew most likely would be virtual but I wasn't expecting to wait until June 2nd :( :( :( this is absurd to have to wait this long for a virtual ceremony on top of all the waiting I've already done. At least they didn't ask me to pay
