Hi - I entered the UK with my BRP/foreign pasport 1 month after my ceremony. I told the immigration officer that I am now naturalised citizen. However, that did not matter to him as he still admitted me using my ILR BRP. He also mentioned my biometrics are still on system! This was 5-6 weeks after m...
Hi david1955 - once you submit your application online, you will be provided with a link for a pdf download. That document has the page for the referee signature as well your own signature. The rest of the pages are just instructions for you/your referee. Once you have got the page signed, send it a...
Hi smb24 - As I said, I was only speculating. But in any case, I think you will be fine as your time away was less than 6 months. Were you staying at same address before and after the break? I am asking because there is a difference between physical address and travel history. You could have been ou...
Hi smb24 - I don't know how UKBA will deal with your case if you mention you have spent over 6 months out of the country. Not in terms of eligibility (clearly you meet UK residency requirements), but in terms of processing time. In other visa/immigration apps, any period of over 6 months outside of ...
HO will only issue a naturalisation certificate and HMPO a passport, based on the name that appears on your foreign passport. Not entirely true! HO may issue a naturalisation certificate on the name you would like to use going forward. You need to explain in the AN form what you are trying to achie...
Hi mamabibi - Sorry to see you go through all this pain. My suggestion would be to email home office. I have these email addresses, send to all of them in one email: Citizenship.support@gsi.gov.uk NationalitySupportTeamFMT@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk publi...
Many Thanks JohnnyZee. I did applied with my current British passport and deed poll that's it. I didn't include cover letter or uncancelled passport as checked with some one on customer services and they said it should be sufficient. Did they call you for an Inverview for second time, please advise...
Hi guys - my deed of name change has been accepted by HMPO. I called in today and was told that interview letter is on the way. There was no need to get certificate amended with Home Office. Hope it works out for you too. That's just another example of what a mess the whole situation is! I asked th...

Mashec - what is your aim here? 1) are you trying to amend your certificate of naturalisation (near to impossible) OR 2) Are you trying to get a UK passport in your maiden name? If only 2, why do you really care about amending certificate? Just make your own deed poll, use 2 witnesses and send to HM...
Hello everyone, I have the same problem! I'm so, so angry! It's all just beyond any common sense for me! I am now waiting my documents back from Passport Office. They said they will hold my application for 6 months. I'm thinking to change my name to my maiden name on all documents I have and sent a...
Hi amilawal, HMPO responded to my letter asking for proof of name change. Hence, I have sent them a change of name deed. I did it myself and asked 2 witnesses to sign. See link below: https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll I hope this will be enough to settle the matter. Ma...
1) You can do deed poll yourself or via solicitor. https://www.gov.uk/change-name-deed-poll/make-an-adult-deed-poll 2) Yes, you can apply after. Make sure you have cancelled/surrendered all non-British passports with the old name. HMPO will need proof you have done so. They want to see consistency i...

Thanks Hi amilaw...

My certificate now does not have my middle name (i.e. just first and last name) 2) I applied for UK passport without middle name. HMPO said they cannot issue passport as my f...
