I want to remind everyone that remember to keep your EU route PR card, you do not need to send back to HO after naturalisation. I did send back I need that for my baby. Luckily, my partner has settled status approved before my baby girl was born, so HO accepts that(Didn't tell us the reason, just approved).

However, just 23 days and got my baby's passport! The wait is over! Good luck to others and thank you all so much for the support all the way to this point.

The processing time has been about 10 days so far, and still no news... I really dislike that we have to send our other original passport(s) to the Home Office if we live in the UK (although this is not needed if you are overseas). I don't believe this is common practice in most countries.
