Travelling abroad after applying for UK Naturalisation

[mrunknown]

Hi,

I hope you are well.

I am new to this platform and some friends recommended me to ask any questions I have regarding my application.

I currently hold Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and am planning to travel abroad for four nights in August. I intend to submit my UK naturalisation application later this month. I hold a Pakistani passport and have applied for a visa to enter my intended destination country.

I would like to confirm whether I am permitted to travel after submitting my naturalisation application. I understand that the Home Office may request all of my passports as part of the process to issue the certificate of naturalisation. Could you please advise if this would impact my ability to travel during that time?

Thank you for your guidance.

Kind regards
MrUnknown

You're free to travel after naturalisation application submission.

Passports are not required to issue a certificate of naturalisation.

You may travel after submitting your application. Best to do your traveling after attending the biometrics appointment.
You only submit scans of all documents, no originals. The point about ALL passports only refers to the British passport application for that one you submit originals.

Furthermore, I have two referees. What information I would be requesting them to send me which goes on the form. I know that I need their nationality. Passport number, address and years of address, how are they related to me .

Any other information I would need to request like a passport sized photo of them and the declaration need to be signed on paper so I could rescan it and attach it with my docs.

No photos from the referees are needed!

The forms can be digitally signed.
