Yes I know that but in reality all that is required is to prove you are English to be allowed to enter as a British citizen and also the other part which is more relevant is!Casa wrote:A COE isn't a Naturalisation certificate. It's proof of Right of Abode.
Your hypothetical does not quite fit in, ie, the airline and departure country can verify having seen your passport on boarding and may even have your passport number. This here is about deliberately commencing a journey without the proper documents and the issues around naturalisation and BRP. I know for a fact where I come from they probably won't even check you in for the flight if you produced the certificate alone.UKBALoveStory wrote:Imagine an hypothetical situation.
You have got a British passport and your are coming back to home form a non-EU country. You boarded the plane with your passport and somehow you lost the passport. Now at the immigration counter you are saying you are British but you can't prove it as you have lost your British passport. Now what immigration officer will do? He might ask you to provide some other proof of id may be your driving license and then (s)he will check into system to see if you are allowed entry or not? same is the case with travelling after Naturalization. You are British, the day you attended the ceremony. The passport is a travel document that helps you in entering countries around the world "other than GB" with/without appropriate visa. The passport is not required to enter into your own country as long as you can prove you are British.
IMHO
You are not reading the post properly the person still has there BRP which any other is unable able to check if still valid at check in. It would be very unlikely that anyone with a BRP would have a problem checking in with a BRP.Chinho2k wrote:Your hypothetical does not quite fit in, ie, the airline and departure country can verify having seen your passport on boarding and may even have your passport number.

(IMO).
The problem is not about entering the UK when you are already there but checking in for the flight in the country of departure which might be a serious problem. Etihad Airlines told me on the phone they won't let me to board it is why I bought more expensive VA. I consider myself lucky there was a good manager in Delhi airport otherwise I was facing 16 weeks in India - it is how much time it would take for the passport issued there.johnch121 wrote:Another person who entered the UK with a Naturalisation Certificate know dout the scare monger will be out soon to say you can not do it. Still no reports of anyone being refused entry into the UK using a Naturalisation Certificate
