Use expired foreign passport to apply for British passport

Post by Le2021 » Tue Jan 31, 2023 6:42 pm

Hi,
I have applied recently to citizenship and waiting for decision.
My foreign passport will be expired in few months and I am wondering if I will be able to use it (when expired) to apply for British passport following the naturalisation.

Thanks

Yes - there’s no requirement to have a valid prior passport, either foreign or British.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.
