Return of passport during Naturalisation application

[Pranvayu]

Is it possible to get passport back at the same time of applying for Naturalisation application?

I am planning on applying on the 20th of Jan and need to travel overseas for work immediately thereafter and will require original passport and BRP until the naturalisation application is in process.

Is this possible and if so, what's the procedure?

Thanks

Yes. Submit your application through the NCS who will copy your official documents, including your passport and hand back the originals on the day of the appointment.

You can attend any NCS.

If you use Nationality checking service then you can keep your original documents as they will take photo copies. If you send your documents yourself through royal mail then it night take some time to get ur passport. So highly recommended use NCS

Remember that you will have to enroll biometrics for the BC application.
UKVI will send a letter, generally within about two weeks of the application - you have 15 work days from date of letter to povide the biometrics. If you miss this there will be another letter giving you 10 days. If it's a prolonged absence it's best someone checks your mail in case UKVI is sending you letters.
