Documents for first Uk passport
Posted: Thu Apr 11, 2024 6:22 pm
Hi
So we are about to apply for my wife's first UK passport (following her citizenship ceremony next week)
Looking at what supporting documents are need, it looks quite scary and complicated!
My wife was born outside the UK (in 1978), not on a British overseas territory, so the only way she is claiming to be British is by naturalisation
Would I be right in saying that the only supporting documents she needs (in addition to photos) will be her foreign passport that she used to enter the UK, plus her citizenship certificate
So hopefully not her birth certificate, mother and father and grandparent's marriage certificates etc!
