Hi,

Re: Section 1 (3)

My passport is unavailable at the moment, can I send a notarised copy of my passport and the ILR stamp page?

Also am I right in assuming that the birth cert and the Passport showing ILR are the only documents that I need to send?

Thanks,

these days HM give biometric & they don't stamp on passport so how are you going to send the stamp page ?

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.

I don't understand this.

The form clearly says Certified Copies are enough. Why would I need to send my passport?

Could someone please confirm that you don't need to send your actual passport if you have a certified copy. I am confused by the advice here. Thank you.

Where does it say you can send copies?

Dear Gidoc, I don't understand your reply. Why can I not send a solicitor certified copy of my son's passport when I apply for his naturalisation (similarly like I do with my application).

Certified copy (NCS or solicitor) is accepted.
