Passport Application post Naturalisation Question
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2024 12:38 am
Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I literally can't find my situation mentioned ANYWHERE (or I am really bad at this).
I was born in the UK post 1983 and I never got British Citizenship until very recently through Naturalisation.
Now, the convoluted bit - The spelling of my name in my British Birth Certificate is different than my first passport from my previous country of nationality - It was never intentional, just that the case worker decided to have a mind of his own and change the spelling of my name which affected basically the name I used for professional purposes (for visas, degrees, jobs etc).
My question to you - I know that post Naturalisation, HMPO would ask for Naturalisation Certificate, and my foreign passport to be able to issue a passport, in the normal case. But in my case, the moment I select born in the UK, I would imagine they are going to ask for the Birth Certificate? by which I can only imagine will open a whole can of worms of why the birth certificate name spelling is different than naturalisation etc... and end up in a catch 22 situation. Am I overthinking this?
Any tips or feedback would be greatly appreciated.
