first british passport:what to send?

Post by hopeful_forever » Mon Nov 24, 2014 1:00 pm

Hi all

I am about to send my application for first british passport (with naturalisation certificate). I just have a couple of queries? So I got 2 foreign passports- 1 current, 1 expired. I am sending current passport but do I need to send my expired passport as well (which I used when I moved to the UK). Also I don't need to send ILR card I believe?

many thanks

You need to send both passports.
BRP is not required but I have seen few people being asked for it. I am applying tomorrow and not planning to send BRP.

if the expired passport has been cancelled by the issuing authority then you don't need to send that one.

Uncancelled passports
In part B, enter details of all uncancelled passports that you are sending us. A cancelled passport has the top right-hand corner
of the cover cut off. An uncancelled passport has not been cancelled by its issuing authority (British or another country). This may include:
• an expired passport (in other words one that has run out, see below)
• passports you are or were included on (for example, as a child), and
• passports issued to you by other countries.

You can send just your current one, which is what I did just a couple of weeks ago. Once you renew your passport your country normally cancels your current passport when they give you your new one. However some countries allow people to have a couple of passports at the same time or if you're already a dual citizen.
