Re: Expired Passport and eligibility date.

I am eligible for British Citizenship next month, but my Indian passport expires this month. Can I still file with an expired Indian passport or do I need to renew it! Please advice. You don't need a "Valid" passport for your BC application. unless 'you' need this to travel abroad in next 3-4 months.
