One option could be to go with the current Passport/ BRP name and if you are still interested, change the name on UK Passport. Seems like a simpler process than this multi step hassle.

If all 3 of us apply together, will the application be processed together? Is it a better idea for me to apply separately to make sure the wife and/or kid get approval faster if their applications are more straightforward or processed in parallel? Each applicant is processed individually. It makes ...

Dear Friends,
I need to renew my child's Indian passport.
Now a days how long it is taking to get the passport after submitting the documents at the VFS centre ?

And then apply for the British Passport with the new Indian Passport. 2. Surrender your Indian passport. ...

Hi Guys,

Will travelling to Amber country cause any issues when applying to British citizenship (good character, etc)? Thanks.

No, as its not illegal to travel now.

You need to eMail them and request a cancellation and then you are able to rebook a new one.

Would be better to declare and clarify than not mention it.
