)Wanted to get some advice from anyone who has specifically applied for a passport after the ceremony. At this point, I have received approval on my British citizenship, and since I've relocated to the states to work for half a year and will miss my ceremony dates, I've looked into how I can do it overseas. Thankfully after looking at the site I've realised I can do it in the city I'm in. However a couple of things came up when I looked at applying for a passport, and to preface my questions, I'm a NZer by birth, with parents from China and Singapore. My Chinese father does not, from what I can tell, have or can even request a birth certificate.
(note that these questions stem from the guidance document here - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _09.15.PDF and is for a new, first passport)
- is showing your birth certificate necessary? It's currently in another country but I had to supply my certificate when I applied for my citizenship in the first place?
- on Table B it says I need 'your father’s full birth certificate (showing both the child’s and parents’ details) or naturalisation or registration certificate' - as above, my father doesn't have a birth certificate as he was born in China, and at that time these kind of things are rare. Therefore, if I read 'naturisation or registration certificate' correctly, could I use a NZ one?
Any help would be appreciated!
