There's nothing unusual about authorities requesting an older passport with relevant information included within it. There are sections within both UKF and UKM (I'm in the latter category) asking for various older passports applicable to the case. I see, well thanks for all your replies, you've bee...
But in any case even if I decide not to search it/or I can't manage to find it, I should describe everything in the "additional information" section is that what you suggest? This is up to you. We don't know what information you are dealing with . It seems you are dealing with resolving t...
They are asking for your prior British passports, or those in which you were previously included . Since you just registered , you would have no uncanceled British ones and only the canceled ones of your father . It’s really up to you to decide whether to search for your father’s old passports or n...
In the "previous passport section" it states: "If the applicant has held or been included on a British passport before you must state this here. Provide the passport number below. You must send it with the application." I'm pretty sure I was included on my late fater passport wh...
Hi all, apologize for double posting (even though it's not the exact same post :mrgreen: ). Has anybody applyed for his/her first passport after obtaining the certificate of registration? I was about to do so online (the only way for me since I live abroad), but I've got a doubt I haven't solved yet...
Hi all! I hope this hasn't been asked before. I've recently obtained my certificate of registration and I was trying to apply online for my first british passport (I live in Italy), but I have a few doubts. In the "previous passport section" it states: "If the applicant has held or be...
Hi all! I just wanted to tell you that today I've finally become a British Citizen. It took a little bit more than three months (I enrolled my biometrics on August 30). I didn't receive any invitation letter but just a phone call from the embassy informing me that the certificate was ready. Then i e...
Hi all! I've submitted my application with the NCS service and I wanted to update you. I've been at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea on August 15, and, despite what's written on the website, they were indeed able to give advice on the application. In fact, we went through all the applicat...
Hi all, it's me again :D Does anybody know precisely how does the registration certificate's number look like (how many digits for example)? My father's certificate is pretty old; the only numbers I could find are on top of the front page, but I don't know which of the 2 of them is correct: the one...

@nlworth Thank you very much for your reply :D So let me see if I have it right. I'm a lawyer working at a lawfirm, to which I issue an invoice each month for the same amount, and that's how I get paid. I'd be considered employed then? Cause in Italy lawyers are always considered self-employed :lol:
@CR001, @alanwar thank you very much for your replies, they helped a lot! Guess I'll just leave the "tax office" part blank. Does also the employment part matter only if you reside in the UK? As I mentioned in one of my previous posts I'm not sure in which category I would fall, whether em...
I don't know what DOB and SA Identity number are (my father left SA in the late fifties). I live in Italy, and no they didn't get married unfortunatley. Is it sctictly necessary to have his birth certificate? I mean I've got plenty of documentation, that is his registration certificate and his last ...
@alanwar Do you think I have enough supporting documentation? I've got my father's registration certificate, his last passport and my uk birth certificate. I actually haven't got a clue on how to get my father's birth certificate as he was born in South Africa, I fear it would be almost impossible f...
Can anybody help me with my doubts (written in my first post) regarding how to fill the employment status, tax office, and grandparents' details? Is my father's death certificate necessary?
Thanks for your reply, but I really don't get it. I have an email from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea clearly stating that "Yes, nationality checking service can be used for UKF applications" and that "We are authorised to check your application, and photocopy and certify...
Yes, this is way they are going to make certified copies and send them to the home office together with the application, it's all written in the email...
I'll check this evening, after 1949 in any case. I attach the answer received from the Borough of Kensington: "Thank you for your enquiry regarding booking an appointment to use the Nationality Checking Service (NCS) at the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Please note that NCS can only ...
Hi everybody! I'm so glad I've found this amazing forum, it's hard to find information on the UKF application. I'd like to ask you for some advice. I was born in the UK in 1988 from a British father and an Italian mother, not married. I've got the following supporting documents: My english birth cer...
Hi all, I just wanted to share with you my experience applying for British citizenship via the UKM route (I live in Cape Town, South Africa). My application was not a straight-forward one. I'll just give you a brief overview. My grandfather was born in the UK (Middlesex) in 1910 and my grandmother ...
