A great honour to be British

Post by masha.ketu » Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:08 pm

Just had my private citizenship ceremony which took 8 minutes! So glad for the privilege to become a Briton.
Now to apply for the passport,I have some queries :- Do I have to send all my passports(expired or not). Also how do you fill the wedding dates of parents if they are old and cannot recollect? :)
Do i just leave the space blank as I did not get citizenship through them.

Thanks

Congratulations.

I suggest you read the sticky FAQ - most common questions - Passport.

I did send off the application form to IPS today through Check and send. Hopefully I should have it in a month. Also paid £3 for my docs to be returned. Please would it be through Secial Delivery by Royal Mail?

IPS don't use royalmail but a private courier company (DX). Sometimes they just drop the package through your letterbox and sometimes they require a signature (no idea how they decide on that).
