Grandparents details are not applicable to naturalised citizen. If you go at end of guidance booklet and check the tables you will find the red cross in section of grandparents details for naturalised citizen.
Yes coming to the point of parents details so as I am naturalised citizen and my both parents were born abroad so I gave their DOB's and places of births but as I didnt have any record of their date of marriage so I left that blank. So that wasnt an issue . In interview they will ask you about your parents details as its just needed for id checking thats it.

thanks very much for make it clear tulip11

Kaanta they asks for uncelled passport means current to be send out. But as recently I made new one the expired one had all my stamps, first visa sticker etc so I just took both to post office .So lady said that send your expired as well because it got all the stamps. So I sent both passports current and expired for just to be on safe side. Plus as a naturalised citizen you dont need to provide them grandparents details. Just give your parents details. Hope this helps you. Best of luck. And yes no need to send BRP card.

thanks tulip11. as you said just to be safe better to send my expired passport too. Regards

just one more thing tulip11. when I checked passport application section 4 it says ( if both parents were born abroad, we will also need the full name, town, date of birth and date of marriage of your grandparents ) ? thanks

Hello guys can anyone tell me which documents do I have to send with the firts time adult passport application? Current passports, biometric residence permit, etc? Thanks already for replying

passport application clearly states that YOU SEND UNCANCELLED PASSPORT not cancelled ones

Thanks for those replyings . The stamp of My first entry to uk is on my cancelled passport. Don't I still send it ? Also what about BRP ? And Last question is on passport application form do I have to write details of my grandparents too? I need some help guys. Thanks a lot

[z00ps00p]

I haven't got mine yet (interview in the morning, and the original documents were returned to me earlier in the week) but all I sent in (for an individual application) was my naturalisation certificate, current passport, application form, appendix with grandparents' details (which didn't fit on Section 8 of the form) and two photographs, one of which was attested across the reverse.

It's more than 8 weeks since I have applied for passport. Every time I call them they say your application is going through routine scrutiny checks.

Is there any body else who is been waiting since so long. Please share

Hi,

you can do it either through check and send from the post office or fill the form online and then print and send it.

check the guidance or you can go to any post office and ask for the application form it will come with guidance.

i think you need child birth certificate and you proof of stay in uk

thanks

Dear all, a quick question, can we have a different address on passport application form than from address used for naturalisation? I got naturalised today after ceremony and is going to apply for passport soon. Im moving out with my friend and the new house is on friends name. Your answers will be of great help.
