Just apply for the passport and send it as it is, they'll contact you and ask for you to get it replaced if they want it replaced, but you have to pay for it, so might worth trying to apply before. And on top takes ages as well to have it replaced.

Hi, yes I had to. But for my application. Circumstances are different, all I wanted to say is that whatever documents they ask for must be originals.

Hi, not really sure in your circumstances, but when I have applied online for the first passports within the UK though, at the end they tell what documents to send, and for my daughter they asked for original registration certificate and passport, and same for us, we have sent the originals, it says...

Hi, please update when you get yours back if you don't mind, I have sent my daughter's back they've just received it today and I wonder how long will take... I found some posts but they are few years back when time varied from few weeks to 4 months, nothing recent unfortunately.
Thanks.

So we have finally received the letter from Passport Office regarding the amendment on the registration certificate, looks that on our daughter's certificate says issued under section 1 (3A) which my understanding is that it;s for children born in UK, instead of section 3 (1) as she was born abroad ...

Hi, we've just wrote a simple letter with our details and address as per their explanation on the checking list and said that we give our consent that our daughter xxxx to be registered as British citizen. Dated and signed by both of us and scanned and uploaded with the rest of the documents and thi...

I have found some posts on the forum regarding waiting times for amendments but nothing recently, they are from 2 years ago and longer, and vary, I was wondering if anybody had to resend it recently. It's a bit frustrating as it's not a mistake in the name or anything, looks that they have included ...

Hi, does anybody know roughly how long will take for a registration certificate to be corrected and sent back? Passport office will sent my daughter's certificate back as has a number printed that shouldn't be there and we have to send it back to Home office. I wonder if anybody has done this and ho...

Why you don t do it online? Payment is instant, same for confirmation, you are only showed questions relevant to you and you take a picture with your phone to upload. Very easy and quick. There is the option for secure delivery of documents and you pay together with the application which online is c...

Thank you, I have no idea how this works as we have never had any, even for this one for my mom was somebody's suggestion and there is no problem if they won't give her, she lives with us anyway.

Hi, you have to provide evidence for being here for last 5 years from now, not since you have enter the UK. Payslips are fine, I'll use 3 or 4 per year one for every 3/4 months, any letters if you have for any period will work, I have used a P45 at one point as I didn't have any P60. You can use the...

Thank you very much, sounds so complicated... We've sent what they have asked for, there is no problem if she does not qualify, just tried.

I have used P60 for both my husband and me and application has been approved at the end of January, they have not asked for anything else. You will be fine with them don't worry.

I see...thank you very much, looks that we have wasted 1 hour on the phone . I thought as much although technically we are not British Citizens yet, I was hoping that having pre-settled status now for herself,they might asses her on her own, at least we tried.

Thank you, we have called them to claim and let's see what happens. They have requested some documents, nothing out of ordinary as ID and proof of living here for all of us, proof of working from us, this kind of stuff.

Hi, I wonder if my mother in law that is EU citizen herself and got pre-settled status can claim pension credits on her own right let's say, because me and my husband got british citizenship approved and we will have the ceremony on the 4th of March, so I don't think she can claim as parent of EEA c...

Birth Certificate.

You can't apply for pre-settled status now? The outcome is pretty quick and you will be able to prove all your rights.

I have received it by email, emailed them on the 4th and got the reply on the 12th. Took about 9 days...

When I received the same email, received the approval letter in about 10 days. So might be good news.

Yes, I am talking from my experience, I have applied for my mother last week and I had the option to choose what am I applying for, settled or pre settled status. Although I have provided her NI number, the system could't find her ( understandable as she is 65 and never worked here and never had ben...

You have the option to select what you are applying for, settled status or pre-settled status.

Why you don't apply for Settled Status instead Permanent Residence and you can prove it with 5 council tax? In Settled Status you have to provide documents to show your presence and you don't have to show CSI or employment for the time that you don't have it clear. I have applied for my mom providin...

Birth Certificate will cover that if both parent's name are on it and are the same with the parents names in application. They ask for it separate as well I know, but this is what we have used for ours and they have not asked for anything else and has been approved.
