First passport post naturalisation

Post by Keila » Fri Jun 05, 2026 8:32 pm

Hi all,
I applied for a British passport and sent my naturalisation certificate (original) and colour copies of every page of my US passport.

It said I could send the physical or colour copies of the passport used to enter the UK.

It also said to send any current or expired passports from other countries. I took this to mean if I had OTHER passports other than the one I used to enter the UK of which I sent colour copies.

I am now freaking out that I needed to send my physical passport - which I didn’t do because I need it.

Any advice or experience with this?

If HMPO have an issue they will get back to you.
When did you submit your application?
Did you explain why you sent a copy?
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.

No I didn’t explain because it was an option for me- it said I could send a copy. It’s just that it also said to send all current passports. The two bullets, for what passports they need, overlap if you read it one way or are mutually exclusive if you read it another way.
