I am currently using it and have been in the UK for 18 years now, I am due my 3rd renewal this december.

Couldn't you just naturalise? You're talking about the ILR based on 10 year residency? So you can then naturalise a year after receiving this?

Re: SHORTEST DURATION ,QUICKEST WAY from CITIZENSHIP to PASSPORT PROCESS.

Whilst I agree that HMPO on their website say they do not allow fast track for first time applications, ironically if you call them and ask, they allow it. I applied for my first passport after naturalisation on the super-express priority option (call before 10AM, pick up at 1PM - c.£90 extra). Thi...

After completing your online application, UKVI will send you an email notification after a couple of days.

You don't need your Driving Licence for citizenship. You'll need your ILR, passport, LITUK test result and proof of having lived here for the required period of time (if you're non-EEA past visas and the stamps in your passport would suffice). If you're married to a UK citizen, you'll need your par...
