Hi All,
I moved to new address after I got naturalisation(got naturalised on 21-02-2014, moved on 22-02-2014 morning), so I have applied for British passport from my new address(on 22-02-2014 evening), will that be a problem in the interview? as mowaid saying do I need to be in current address for 2 yerars?

The interview process is just information about your past nothing strange, just give them answer as much as you know be careful about date of births of your parents, and you must know the full name of you grunter who sign your photo, and you should say that you are leaving on your current address more then 2 year and your grunter knows you more then 2 years rest I believe all is fine

thanks

Due to the separation of our documents we recieved a letter saying they needed my wife and I passports again to process my daughters passport! Sent them on Friday morning and my daughters passport arrived this morning!
Just waiting for my wife's now as she made the mistake of telling the interview person that her picture was 2 months old! They asked for more recent ones sent them last Thursday and waiting for the next step!
I don't know whether she will need to do another interview or they will just send her a passport if anyone has experienced this please let me know

Many thanks. I sent mine to Durham, should choose Peterborough. The fee was deducted so I suppose the application should be received. Bless me.

hi All,
i am in process of filling the application fomrs for myself and my two children. Can I please ask the following:
1. Section 9 ask us to sign the form. It also states the write your full mname . I understand that you only have to write your full name in this esction if you are filling this application for your children. Is it correct?
2. The Place of issue of certificate. I have written 'home office London'. I hope that will be ok?
3. Contersignatory. I will be getting this signed by my children's head teacher. Can I fill in all the relevant sections and ask her to sign, date and write her passport number or she has to fill in every thing herself in this section including writting the back of photo?
Your help will be appreciated.

[TTOE]

Just to share for those that needs to track their application after 3 weeks, I hope we don't need the link;
