UK Passport Application, Online application after naturalisation, do we need to send foreign passport with application

Post by kushalprasad » Fri May 18, 2018 12:14 pm

Hi All,
I've received my naturalisation certificate today and I'm applying for UK passport.
I've passport application online and printed it out.
I do not see any instruction to send foreign passport in the application. However on the website I see that we have to send the foreign passport application.

Can anyone confirm if we need to send foreign passport?

Yes - all uncancelled passports including foreign ones have to be submitted, plus naturalisation certificate, all in original.

Tx,
I also just conformed the same after phoning them.
We do need to send foreign passport.
It's weird that they haven't mentioned it in the application anywhere.
So it is something we must know.

The wording "any other passport" covers it.

New passport application forgot to check for secure deliver option

What a bummer!
During online passport application I unchecked secured deliver option which means that my Citizenship certificate and foreign passport will be returned via 2nd class. What a pity.

I don't see any option as I can't cancel this application and restart a new one.

Does anyone have any other ideas? Looks like I'm stuck with 2nd class return.

Just wait now.

You should have used JCAP/NCS.
