Question about first British passport application
Posted: Sat Sep 25, 2021 9:38 am
Hello,
I am just preparing my supporting documents for my passport application. This will be my first application since receiving my British Naturalisation last week.
The gov website has instructed to include the Naturalisation document along with the current passport (which was used to enter the UK) and also any other passports belonging to other countries that haven't yet been cancelled.
Can someone please let me know why the passport office requires the passport belonging to my birth country? Are they going to cancel my current passport upon issuing my UK passport? I would like to continue as a Dual Citizen, and do not wish my current passport to be voided.
Have I misunderstood their intentions or do they just want to see my current passport for informative purposes only?
In total I have had 3 passports. My childhood passport, the passport I used when I first entered the UK, and my current passport. My previous two passports have been voided/cancelled. Do I still need to send all my passports?
