Its a logical conclusion based on the passport form guidance (there is no requirement stated that you need to hold a current valid foreign passport when applying), and the fact that there are many countries that do not permit multiple nationalities. Hence even if someone did have a apparently unexpired foreign passport at the time of applying for their first British passport, that passport may no longer be valid anyway (due to the fact that the person would have lost citizenship of the originating country as a result of naturalising as a British citiezen).london2tim wrote:May i Ask : is this from experience or you're just taking a guess?

You might be rightanniecc wrote:I suspect what happens is that the applications get allocated to case workers in batches and each case worker deals with their set of applications chronologically. If your application gets allocated to a slow case worker, they take sick leave or a holiday, or they happen to have a couple of complex cases before they get to yours, you will be waiting longer than a application allocated to a different case worker.
