I am applying for my first British Passport after getting my Certificate of Naturalisation. After filling details about myself, parents, grandparents, now they are asking me send the below documents:
(I am confused, why they are asking my father's birth certificate and his naturalisation? It should be mine only?) I tried to search if there is any other form I need to complete but I only found one online application to fill and they are asking the below. Please advise.
Applicant’s documents
Send the following:
1. full birth or adoption certificate (showing both the child’s and parents’ details)
2. the passport used to enter the UK
3. any current or expired passports from other countries that haven’t been cancelled
Parents’ documents

1. full birth or adoption certificate (showing both the child’s and parents’ details)
2. naturalisation or registration certificate
And you’ll also need to send:
1. father’s marriage or civil partnership certificate to your mother or parent 1
If any of the following apply, you need to send additional documents (opens in new tab):
