Post-naturalization, which authorities to inform?

[nuaaxiayu]

Dear Forum and Experts,

First of all thank you so much for the help I received in the past few years on UK immigration. I naturalized as a British Citizen earlier this year, and have so far tried to contact multiple authorities to update my nationality information, I am sharing my personal experience here, hope it can help any people in need:

(1) I registered to vote on gov.uk and my local council processed my request and put me on the electorate;

(2) I applied for UK passport, it takes time to process maybe it's busy period. I also sent back my ILR BRP card to HO within 5 working days of my citizenship ceremony, even though my BRP card already expired on 31/12/2024.

(3) I called HMRC and they updated my nationality on their system and told me it would not affect my tax account/status;

(4) I called DVLA and they said my driving license does not need to be updated/renewed as it only shows place of birth, not nationality;

(5) I called Home Office about my existing ILR e-visa, and they told me I do not need to do anything and my e-visa will stay as it is. I can still view my ILR status and even generate share code of it. But HO also told me once I get my British Passport, I should not use my e-visa (e.g., for travel or prove right to work).

(6) I called my banks/mortgage lender and asked them to update my nationality information, as I opened these accounts using my foreign passport before. They updated it and told me it would not affect my accounts/mortgage with them.

(7) I called my GP and they asked me to bring my UK passport to them and get my nationality updated on NHS system. They also told me it won't affect my access to NHS services.

I believe these are what I did after my naturalization, did I miss anything? If so, I guess I will continue updating my nationality information with other authorities if/when asked? Please advise me on this.

Thank you again.

I only informed my employers, changed my banking profile and updated my righ to vote details. Otherwise only if needed/requested. Note there is no central register of citizens as we don’t have ID cards. You no longer have an immigration status, though you will still be able to login I’m sure, but it’s no longer relevant.

Thank you alterhase58 for your prompt reply, understood. Yes I forgot to say I have also updated my nationality information with my employeer too.

If one is renting they would need to also update their landlord as they would need to update the right to live in the UK.

To add further to your list, I also updated my insurance policy.

Dear contorted_svy,

Many thanks for adding your comments. Regarding insurances, mine did not ask for my nationality when taking out their policies, so I am not sure if it is meaningful to inform them, but I guess there is no harm to do so.

Probably just your employer and your bank. Other authorities don't really care about your immigration status
