Hi All,

Thanks to guidance from this forum, I(along with my wife and daughter) have received my naturalization email yesterday. Now we need to apply for ceremony and collect the certificate and onto the passports.

My Daughter who is 13 has a school trip coming up in mid feb to iceland so she is in the need of passport more then US. so can i apply her passport first before the mine and wife's? is there any restrictions with it?

BG: we hold Indian passport currently, with 5+1 year to naturalization on skilled worker visa route, daughter was born outside UK.

Please guide.

Many Thanks.

Congratulations!
You can apply for passports in any order that you wish. You can apply for an expedited passport for your daughter.

Great, Thanks for response. I will apply daugthers first and then mine. unless there is easier way where i can apply for all of us at the same time. I am hoping they do not ask my original passport for her application.

Her claim to a passport is through her own registration, so I don't think you need to send in your passport. Either way, you can focus on her application first and then sort out the rest.
