How long for passport after ceremony

[JFriden]

Hi there,

Anyone knows how long does it take to receive the passport after you got the citizenship certificate? I have applied for citizenship together with passport application.

Thank you, do I have to send my bio metric card before I receive passport? It is said in the letter I have to send it withing 5 days after ceremony, but I have a day trip to Paris next Wednesday with work.

The BRP becomes void after attending your BC ceremony, similar to when a bank card is terminated.

Whether the IO at UK Border Control will accept this together with your BC certificate remains to be seen.

Oh dear, I guess this is the risk I will have to take... can't cancel the trip.

Do let us know the result!

My citizenship ceremony was on 20th Oct and I've received passport on 27th Oct (within a week)

Hey JFriden,
I'm currently in this situation; what was the outcome for you?
(I now have Citizenship but my passport will not arrive before I have to travel...)
Thanks,
