Hi all,

Hope you can help us.

My husband and me( indian passport holders) had applied for our first British passport online. Couple of weeks after we got a letter from the HMPO that the forms were incorrectly filled and we had to fill out the form enclosed. We then submitted that.
I checked our status online and it asked to contact them. I called them yesterday and they've asked to send our original indian passports, letter stating our address change and the tenancy agreement as a proof. It's only dawned on me last night that our form may be incorrect cause in sec 3 A, where they about a previous passport, we've said 'no' cause we misunderstood this to be a previous British /EU passport. Having spent the night reading the guidance form I'm even more confused. We've given them details about our parents. Did we need to add our grandparents details in sec 8?

Would they refuse our citizenship(we've five the oath taking ceremony)? How can this be corrected?

Advice would be hugely appreciated.

Many thanks

Not required for passport applications through naturalisation.

The guide clearly states that you have to send your foreign passport.

Hopefully this will only cause a bit of a delay.

Would they refuse our citizenship(we've five the oath taking ceremony)? How can this be corrected?

What do you mean by this? Have you attended the ceremony already??

I am confused. Have you been naturalized and received your naturalization certificate?

To be clearer I have taken the oath and got a certificate which I've enclosed with my application for the first British passport.

Then I don't understand how an error on your passport application can cause them to 'refuse' your citizenship as you already have it.

Send your foreign passports and documents they have asked for. That is all you can do at the moment.

This may well be me freakkng out, because I've misunderstood the QUES in sec 3A of the form where they ask if 'I've had any passport before 'and hence responded incorrectly saying 'no' it makes me wonder about it.

Yes, that would explain it although the question does say 'Any Passport' and not 'British Passport'.

It should not be a problem, just submit what they asked for.

Thanks for all the help and advise i've got - It's gone through
