ThanKs for clarifying, jms_uk

Kel, I guess calling and informing HO of your travel plans will prompt them to return your passport. I suppose that they would readily inform you should they still need it once you speak to them. Good luck

It seems that that is the case. Although I read in one of the posts here that passports are returned after 2-3 weeks. Having said that, I suggest that you give them a call now and tell them that you're due to travel in the next 2 weeks. That way, they will be prompted to return your passport to you ...

I presume you're applying under section 1(3)? A child's (foreign) passport isn't required. You should have submitted your child's uk birth certificate with your passport with ILR or BRP, though

Your 21 month old child is entitled to be registered as a British Citizen since you have already obtained your ILR (refer to British Nationality Act section 1(3)). You only need to submit your child's uk birth certificate and the proof that you obtained your ILR together with the mn1 application for...

Once you are granted ILR, your child is automatically entitled to be registered as British Citizen under British Natonality Act section 1(3). The only documents required are uk birth ceritificate and evidence that you obtained ILR.

Unfortunately, you need to send your passport with the ILR stamp. HO won't accept any photocopies, notorised even. Also, if your child is born before 2006, you need to submit your marriage certificate.

It's really odd that they did not clearly specify that important bit in the guide but yes, you need to send your passport with ILR stamp together with your MN1 application. Even the lady i spoke to from NCS find it quite odd.

You may still use your current passport with the ILR stamp to enter the UK even when you have received your naturalisation certificate. Uk citizens, in fact, are not required to have a UK passport to enter the UK. Nonetheless, It is my understanding that you only become a British citizen once you at...

The £851 that you paid already includes the £80 ceremony fee. Nonetheless, if you made any error in your documents or fees (which you didn't, in this case), NCS would have informed your right away.
