But this is part of the British passport application process?? I just need to know if my current passport needs to be active when applying for British.
Your question above is not relevant to a British passport application and indicates the process for surrendering a passport once you lose your birth nationality. That is the point I was referring to!!So I can actually send in the expired passport for surrender??
Complete the form, paper or online, get referee and submit with required documents. Then wait for HMPO to process.
you need to do few following things,kevinx99 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 31, 2019 5:54 amApologies! Wasn’t aware of the exact process and just found out that the current passport (Indian) needs to be surrendered at an Indian embassy upon obtaining the naturalisation certificate.
Could someone please explain the process to apply for a British passport once I’ve acquired the naturalisation certificate??
