Extra comments:
- I did not send them my passport but instead I sent a certified copy of the photo page (by a lecturer) and a colour copy of all other pages, together with a letter that explained that I needed my passport because I am buying a house and I might need to show it to someone. However, I asked for discretion - the guidance was explicit in telling me to send them my EU passport
- I had paid the extra £5 for tracked delivery. I had included a rigid envelope for the naturalisation certificate's safe return... but they did not use it

My naturalisation certificate has my title as part of my first name, so had to submit an application to request for a new naturalisation certificate. Sent an application for this on 14th Sept (via RM special delivery by 1pm)

Asked HM Passport Office to not withdraw my application but to put it on hold while waiting for a new certificate.

Sent a new certificate directly to my assigned caseworker at the HM passport office on: 7th November 2023

Such a long journey, hopefully don't have to wait any longer now
