Need of Naturalization before applying for first passport

Post by Ahmad1 » Mon Feb 07, 2022 8:48 pm

Hello, My wife recently got her Indefinite Leave to Remain m five-year route.
Can I apply for a British passport for her straight away or do I have to apply for naturalisation first then a British passport?
Thanks in Advance

No. Only a British Citizen can apply for a British Passport. Your wife is not British.
or do I have to apply for naturalisation first then a British passport?
Yes. Apply for Naturalisation first and once she has been approved and attended her ceremony, only then can she apply for a British passport.

Please DO NOT send me a PM for immigration advice. I reserve the right to ignore the PM and not respond.
