How to get first UK passport without giving away existing

[pred02]

Hi,

I become naturalised UK citizen next week on June 22nd. I would like to shortly or immediately thereafter apply for the UK passport, but the problem is that I have travel booked July 15th and then July 29th for a couple of weeks.

Given the nature of my work, it will be difficult to not have the ability to leave the UK for up to 6 weeks. Is there any way I can get my British passport (first) faster? Does passport check and send allow a certified copy of my passport to be send with my original naturalisation certificate?

Thanks

Just hold off getting your passport until you have travelled?

There is no fast track service for first adult British passport, and unless you have used JCAP, you will need to attend an interview.

You must send all uncancelled foreign passports in your name, they will not accept copies.

No.

No.

HMPO will want to check out who you are - with originals.
You will need to rearrange timing of any passport application and defer any subsequent travel.

If I have multiple nationalities/passports can I just send in the one which I used to enter the UK/apply for naturalisation and travel on my other passport? Thanks

How are you going to travel without your BRP which has to be returned within 5 days of the ceremony, or face a £1,000 fine?

No, you need to send in all uncancelled passports

No, because HMPO wants to know who you are.
