Hi Gurus,
Apologies in advance if this had been addressed in earlier topics.
I would like to apply my British passport and my ceremony date is on 5th June 2021. Can i submit the application before the ceremony date and send the documents on 5th upon receiving my certificate?
Thank you.
RK

As far as I know you need to submit all documents (certificate & passports) together. Certificate number also needs to be quoted on the application. HMPO won't start processing an application unless all documents are present, in original.

Hi Alterhase58,

Thanks

You can only apply for a British Passport AFTER you become a British Citizen. You will become British only only on 5th June. So you can not apply for a British Passport now anyways.
