Indian Passport expired, can i still apply my British Citizen?

[amar208]

Hello Every one,

My Indian Passport has been expired in first week of september 2017 and I haven't applied for an extension yet. I am now ready to apply for the British Citizen. Please suggest me if I can apply using my Expired Indian Passport? I have ILR on a separate Bio Metric card.

Thank you in advance
Amar

Yes you can.... no need to renew your Indian passport.

Yes, you can. I recommend you to use the NCS as you can keep your originals

My passport expired in Feb 2017 and I applied JCAP in Sep 2017 via NCS.

They would ask you to prove you have been in UK from the date of expiry to the date of application (some communication for every month) basically, any form of letter or communication from a government department (council, HMRC, DVLA, HO etc) would do. Only if its very difficult for you to provide these you may provide bank statements however, they must have local transaction from where you are based unlike DD's which go out electronically periodically.

Both the above is what I have provided. Hope it helps and comforts.
