Wrong place of birth on passport before citizenship application

Post by sirxig » Wed Apr 19, 2023 2:26 am

My daughters passport has a mistake on the place of birth. However, asking for a correction would rake years.

Can her application be refused because of thst?

What would you do?

Presumably the disconnect is between birth certificate and passport?
I would include an explanatory note with the documents for the registration application (MN1).
Doubt this would a reason for refusal.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Mistake with the city in the same country or mistake with the country?

Not yet familiar with the citizenship application, but I presume you can add a cover letter explaining the situation, supported by other documents e.g. a birth certificate.

Also you can mention in the letter the UKVI announcement regarding the validity of Venezuelan passports UKVI - Venezuelan passports The announcement mentions validity in terms of expiry date but it can support your claim and make aware the HO officer that getting a new passport is very difficult.

Correcting these "mistakes" on a Venezuelan passport can be a real nightmare.
