Hi,

Is there any urgent passport service available after naturalization ? I've to attended oath ceremony in few days and then i'll apply for passport but i've to travel in a month time and i heard that it takes almost a month to get interview for British passport. Is there anY urgent service i could use to apply for passport so that i could get British passport in less then a month time ?

Also do i need to submit my existing passport when i apply for British passport? can i submit certified copy instead of original passport ?

thanks

No, there is no 'urgent' or fast track service for 1st adult British passport.

You need to submit all uncancelled passports.

You also have to return your BRP card within 5 days of ceremony.

You should have applied for it when you first posted asking on the forum on the 2nd of September. You have lost 10 days now

You didn't state in your previous posts when the ceremony was!!! :shock: My glass ball needs a good polish so isn't working at the moment :wink:

Nothing you can do, either postpone travel until you have your passport or take a chance and don't send BRP back and risk a £1000 fine.
