Travelling after ceremony but before receiving the passport

[idonatetowikipedia]

Hi,

I recently received an invitation to attend the ceremony but the local council can only offer a place in Jan/Feb. Is it possible to travel and return to the UK after attending the ceremony but before receiving the passport? (as it can take up to (?) 6 weeks) I know it's a problem for people with BRPs (as you have to return these) but I'm on EUSS and don't have any physical cards to return.

Slightly related: when applying for the passport, can I submit my current passport for validation (which I always used for UK entry) and keep my EU identity card, or do I need to submit both?

Understand it's a rather privileged "problem" to have but I was planning a medical thing in my native country but postponing the ceremony even further would drive me bonkers.

Thanks!

Would appreciate if anyone has some experience or advice

Settled Status isn't cancelled due to naturalisation - carry your Settled Status validation code with you.
Keep EU Identity Card - not required - and can still be used for travel to/from EU.
