British National Overseas passport and British citizen passport

Post by newlife2009 » Fri Mar 30, 2018 10:56 pm

Dear All,

I am going to apply for my British Citizen passport after naturalisation... I really need some advisce ...... Thanks in advance.

History :
Maiden name documents ~
HKSAR passport
Naturalisation certificate
Deed poll changed back to maiden name
statement to confirm using maiden name
supporting documents (bank, HMRC, DVLA...)

Married name document ~
British National Overseas (BNO) passport

Some research from online :
~A British citizen passport and BNO passport can not be held at the same time
~British National Overseas is one of the six British nationailty
~British National Overseas have right to hold British passport

Different advice :
~Two application (1 for name change BNO, 1 for apply first british passport)
~One application ( for apply first british passport)
~One application ( for change existing passport)


Confusion :
~If BC and BNO cannot be held at the same time, why need to submit two application ?
~If apply first british passport ? BNO is a form of British passport, it means already have one british passport. Why need to apply for the First passport ?

I am thinking I should cross the box on the application form, section one, change the existing passport to :
New name (from married name to maiden )
New photo
Change British national status (from British National overseas to British Citizen)

Is there anyone who has experience with this ? I would be really grateful for your help.

P.S. The application was not successful few years ago due to the one name policy, I am really worried it will fail again, please help.



Many thanks

Hi All,

I am going to apply my British passport this week. I would be very grateful if you can help me with this.

Situation :
BNO passport name - A B married (I will sumbit name change docs to change my surname to maiden)
HK passport name - A B maiden
Nat. certificate name - A B maiden
Nat. certificate name at Birth - C D maiden


When sumbit the original documents for the passport application, if the Nat. certificate name at birth is different, do i need to sumbit the birth certificate (C D maiden) as well ?

P.S. I used HK passport (A B maiden) for all application (SET M, ILR, life in the uk test. etc), birth name (C D maiden) is not used anymore, its just showed on the nat. certificate


Many thanks
