Re: Applying for British passport after over 50 years after birth

She does not require her parents' passports or birth certificates in order to get a first British passport. Those parental details are not relevant since she gained British citizenship by birth. She just needs to prove her own identity, i.e. her GRO birth certificate, marriage and associated name c...

Expedite first adult British passport

Hi

Has any one requested to expedite their first passport after naturalization. Now I know the website says you can't do this for first passport but I think I may have seen here someone do it before. Interested to hear from them.
cheers

Re: Scanning all or stamped passport pages for Citizenship application

I only scanned my stamped pages and I got my approval. Although don’t think it’s that much more effort to scan even empty pages too if it gives you peace of mind 😃

Re: Online Passport application- no confirmation email?

You should get an email once you have submitted your online application. Check your junk?

Also you can ring HMPO and ask them as well

Re: Experiences using new UKVCAS for naturalisation/citizenship applications

UKVI do not require proof of address. UKVCAS ask for proof of address (they asked me) but when I asked they could not explain why they want to see it when UKVI do not request it. Therefore, there is no "definition" of proof of address. Take what you have and don't worry. Thank you so much for your ...

Re: SHORTEST DURATION ,QUICKEST WAY from CITIZENSHIP to PASSPORT PROCESS.

If you are looking at the fastest route after the ceremony, I wonder if online is quicker than postal check and send service? Hard to tell from the timelines but I suspect online may be slightly quicker , I don't have evidence for this though.

Re: Travel after naturalisation ceremony

Once you are a British citizen, you cannot be refused entry into the UK, but the BRP could be impounded at the airport or port by the Border Force Immigration Officers. That’s an interesting thread. Doesn’t seem like fine was in place at that time. You are right one can’t be refused entry at the bo...

Travel after naturalisation ceremony

Hi

Has anyone here travelled on their ILR BRP and foreign passport after attending naturalization ceremony. Now I know there's a potential fine of£1000 if BRP is not returned , but I wonder if anyone has done this recently and have had any issues at the border?

cheers

hmm I see what you mean. I wonder what will happen if someone who has attended ceremony shows up at the border with their ILR. Technically they can't stop you from entering as you are already british but they might fine you I guess... If you apply for your passport on the same day as your ceremony,...
