I had to call the passport office with the barcode number that the post office gave me. They told me that they had received my application and it was being processed.janto wrote:How do those of you who used Check & Send know when your application was received by the passport office?
Yes they told us they sent letter on 6th May by second class, surely it cannot take this long.. Anyway there is nothing we can do, when we called they said they cannot issues british passport with different to the name on other passport. They said either we need to change the name on our existing passport or change the name on citizenship certificate, both are not ideal as they take hell lot of time... changing name on indian passport is probably easy but surely we are not going to keep it unlike other countries which allow dual nationality...badratio wrote:The letter most likely to have been sent second class like mine.

My wife also facing same issue, we have decided to change her surname to be mine when applied for naturalization. It clearly says on the naturalization certificate that he maiden was her old name and new name with my surname. We all applied on the same day, i have already got my interview letter and attended interview as well. When we called passport office they said there is a difference in the name in application and her current foreign passport hence they sent a letter and need to wait until we receive that. I was told that the letter was dated 6th May but we haven't received it. Can anybody help on this if you have been through this already?

Sorry I meant Yes. opps...waiz89k wrote:Thank you very much @happyguy82
Just a confusion about contersignatory. U said "NO" but U mentioned as well that anyone can be a countersignatory as long as they r on the approved list of HMPO. So the person I am gona ask to countersign is a british citizen and a director of a VAT registered company but he was one of referees as well on my naturalisation application.
Can he be a countersignatory or is it a requirement of the HMPO that it has to be a different person than referees used in naturalisation?
docs I am sending with the application r fine or do I need to send something else.
Checklist of docs I am going to send will be as follows.
1. Completed passport form.
2. Citizenship certificate.
3. Old passports.
4. correct fee.

I am wondering that I have 3 passports of my current nationality. 2 expired and a current one.
On the 1st passport I have entered UK as a student, it was a manual passport so I applied for machine readable passport and then got my teir 1 on the 2nd passport which got expired in 2013 and got the 3rd and the last one and got my ILR on BRP.
1. Do i need to send all 3 passports with my british passport application.
2. Can I use the same countersignatory which I have used in my naturalisation as a referre?
3. Can I send prepaid self addressed envelope for return of my original docs and new british passport?
4. Do I need to mention my grandparent details?
5. Do I need to send my ILR BRP card?
Checklist of docs I am going to send will be as follows.

Make sure your referees sign/date the application and one passport size picture. Yes you can use the same person.
No need for grandfater details, and you can send a pre-paid envelope. I just ticked the box on the form and paid extra 3 pound to have my doc sent back to me.
No need for BRP. You naturalization is the part that is needed for passport.
Good luck.
