Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Mine took 3 days, but looking at other timelines, some people don't even get the SMS. Thanks. It really strange that you cannot track it through post office online trace & track service. I don't understand why like a normal special delivery, passport application tracking is not available. :evil:

Re: Name change on BRP if applied for naturalisation

Even after trying hard searching on UKBA website and google I found no authentic information about this topic. It's really strange that there is no information about status of BRP after getting naturalization.
Help on this topic will be highly appreciated.

I was searching on the google and found that you need to get a new BRP within 3 months, if your change your name. Do this apply as well if someone has applied for naturalization and waiting for the result?
