Hi guys, I'm just wondering when I apply for naturalisation, if I have to send my national passport(from my country) and a travel document that was expired a long ago?
The reason I ask because I'm planing to change my full name, I will get the deep poll that I will send to HO with my PR etc.
Thanks a lot.

Yes you need.
A deed poll is not a proof of ID. A passport is (with a deed poll in case of a name change). You also need to submit your passport to show you meet the residence requirements (the PR doesn't prove that. It only proves you have PR).

Thanks Jambo, ok I will send my both passports and deed poll, but would it be a problem as the deed poll will be new name and my both passports will remain old name?
I'm just worried if I send them and then they say I have to also change on both passports!
Any more information is appreciated mate, thanks

Patience. It's a Sunday and you only apply in 10 months...
There is no need to get a new passport under the new name. Old passport with deed poll is enough.
