Personally I'd send all just to avoid any confusion and keeping things simple. I sent my three passports (one current, two expired but not cancelled). Got interviewed and received passport in less than 10 days from application, so I'd request keep it simple and send all uncancelled passports. Good ...

Hi all, trying to post out today the application for my first british passport after naturalisation. A question on documents to provide: I only have the current foreign passport with me, but not the passport I came into the UK (from 8 years ago). Is it enough just to send in the current passport? Pl...

Thanks Milan69. Another silly question regarding to counting absences (<450d), I assume it is the 5 years period of 2009-2014, not the five year of my HSMP+ILR (2008-2013) plus one year on ILR? (2013-2014) Just would like to double check, thanks! To satisfy the free of immigration time restrictions ...

Once you become a citizen you can apply anytime for a passport. To have a British passport is not a requirement. Thank y...

Hi guys, I was told in the past that I can write to UK Boarder, and ask them to provide me with a document stating the days out of the UK.

Any idea what to ask for and how?


Thanks a million.

Hi, I was granted ILR in Jun 2013, about to apply for British Citizenship in 2 months time. Question, I was told I could write to UK Boarder, and ask for a formal letter for days out of the UK?
