I'm naturalised as a british citizen and I'm applying for my first adult british passport soon. in the application form they are asking details of any old "passport" which should be sent with the application. I have a convention travel document. should I send it? I ask because it's a trave...
for first adult British passport applications,
Do you have to fill in section 4 (parents details) if both parents are from abroad and live abroad?
some details they ask seems to be targeted towards parents who live in the UK only?
great post Amber,
I didn't know we could request them to destroy the biometric data.
I will write this letter as soon as I receive my certificate,I never felt good about having my fingerprints and biometric data stored somewhere..
and thanks for the letter sample.
what should I do with my biometric residence permit card after approval of my naturalisation?
should I destroy the card? or return it to UKBA?
as far as I know biometric residence permit cards are for non-british citizens,and has no purpose/value once a person is granted british citizenship?

I sent my application for naturalisation around 1 month ago.
the professional referee who signed my naturalisation application at the time recently lost his job.will this effect my application if they contact him for verification or does his position at the time he sign the form counts as valid?

I'm having a hard time finding an acceptable professional referee, is Production Manager of a VAT registered company accepted?
the list includes "Manager of a VAT registered company",so is a "Production Manager" qualifies too?
I was reading guide to fill-in form AN on UKBA website,and it says "We expect you to arrange to attend a ceremony within 3 months of receiving your invitation" does it mean when they send the letter of invitation for ceremony, they do not assign a date? or does it mean they assign an speci...
so I will be eligible to apple for citizenship in late September,my question is, is it ok if referees sign my application before that date?
or does it need to be about the same time I'm sending the application to the UKBA?
can a counsellor (psychotherapist) with MA and BA degrees be used as a professional reference? (British citizen/ known for 5+ years)
also what will happen in case UKBA does not accept one of the references? do they refuse the application all together or do they request other references?
Hi everyone, I will be applying for British citizenship in September,can you please tell me if the following people could be used as the professional reference?? 1-a counsellor who holds BA(Hons) and MA,is a British citizen, knows me for 5+ years,is not related to me. 2-a restaurant manager,who is ...
