You are required by law to return BRP within 5 days from date of ceremony. Fine upto 1000/ Keep certified copies of BRP and return. Yes, I know about the 5 day rule. However, had seen discussions along the lines that you could keep if required for renewing childs passport at a later date. By the wa...
How have members on this forum gone about getting a 2in x 2in pictures done for the purpose of surrendering Indian passport (and I'm assuming for OCI as well)? Traditional 'passport size' in the UK is different, so I'm wondering what is a convenient way of getting a 2in x 2in size done. Thank you f...
We need to apply OCI for 2 parents and a newborn child. I am currently waiting for all 3 British passports. My current plan - to apply for the surrender certificate for both parents and to apply for all 3 OCI together. However, if we surrender Indian passport will our child get OCI as we won't be In...

Notify them that your ILR BRP actually confers British citizenship for your UK born child and your child requires it for child's lifetime. Note that a British passport does not confer British citizenship. Would the ILR sticker in an expired passport be enough to prove that parent was settled at the...

Fair enough. A private ceremony costs more, most in excess of £100. Group ceremony is an awesome experience though. Thanks. Another dilemma here.. Do you know how long it takes for a first child passport to arrive from the application date? I need to do these things and am confused which order I sh...
It takes about an hour, depends how many people attend. Yes you sit during the process. You only stand at certain part, like singing the anthem etc. Private ceremony is impersonal and last a few minutes. You do realise that you have 90 days to attend the ceremony, so not sure about your reference t...
