Travelling after the ceremony

[Nixnix]

Hi everyone,

Ive just received my BC approval letter 2 days ago. And now is waiting a call back from the ceremony centre to arrange me the time.

The question is , I want to go to holiday + apply for passport at the same time. Does anybody know Whether I can do that ? Or do I need to give my passport to the passport office when they a processing my application?

Much appreciated if anyone can give me a hint. Thx

See Q4 in Citizenship FAQ - Common Questions - Passport.

Apply when you are back. Normally doesn't take more than 3-4 weeks.

Travel with your current foreign passport if it remains valid and you can use it to travel after acquiring British citizenship. If so, follow Jambo's suggestion.
