British Passport online application help

[nehaniran12]

hi,

after successfully received my certificate of naturalisation today, I tried to apply for the passport online. However, the questions are very confusing.

Why do I have to give details of my parents?

This info below displays on the following page of the online application:

"We need information about the applicant's parents to confirm if the applicant is eligible for a British passport. Please provide as much information as you can. The application may be delayed if you don't and we may need to contact you for more information."

But I received naturalisation certificate already?!

And also I have to give information about my grandparents, but I have no clue. Why do they need all these?

thank you

Parents details are required. It is also a identity check issue and often used to verify things if called for an interview.

Grandparent details are not required.

It shows as "it must be entered", I entered my parents' details and ignore grandparents details. Thank you for your help
