A valid passport is not required for citizenship.

When did the passport expire? She will be required to provide other evidence of residence if her passport expired.
Really keen to know the info on this myself too. (Sorry aaliya1986, hope you don’t mind)

Friend been eligible for Naturalisation since late 2015, and the original passport expired late 2017. Not travelled abroad since then at all.
  • What docs are required in case of this expired passport?
  • Is there any official documentation/reference to this expired passport scenario for Naturalisation application?
Thanks in advance.

In my case I applied with an expired passport, they only asked for the expired passport nothing else

As your passport is expired for about 3 years, HO will expect to see other evidence of residence in the UK, such as P60s, council tax etc.

Thank you.

That shouldn’t be an issue re: those additional docs.

Is there any official documentation/reference on this from HO too?

Thanks
