What I meant was:Personally I'd repeat the process of naturalisation by putting official name and explain in notes about name being changed etc.
If you don't care about name, then I would put the exact name as per your Naturalisation certificate, as that is the most important document you have regarding the proof of your British Citizenship, passport isn't the proof. So I would follow that Naturalisation Certificate to the letter.mithu wrote:Many thanks for the clarification!
Just got the ceremony done today and got the certificate still in two minds about what to do to be honest.
I don't really care whether the naturalization certificate and or the british passport has 'Calcutta' on it - as long as there are no issues in getting the British Passport.
I think the HMPO officials will enquire about the issue when they come across 'Kolkata' as my birthplace in the BP application form and the naturalization certificate having 'Calcutta' in it - even if there are explanations put in the BP application form.
Would it be a mistake to fill in Calcutta in the BP application form as the current Indian passport is technically invalid as India does not allow dual citizenship?
I know it's probably a trivial matter and many apologies for bothering folk with this issue - but I would be most grateful for any input!

Mithu
I'd follow HMPO's helpline advice you mentioned. You can attach a cover letter for your own satisfaction though.mithu wrote:
- According to HMPO help line advice and the passport guidance booklet guidelines, I should put in the name of my birth place that is there in my Birth Certificate and Naturalization certificate.
