One more questions.

Just saw from another topic that, for the Applicant's proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions, the applicant submitted both a HO letter and BRP.

We only submitted BRP, so just wonder if BRP only is good enough. The letter from HO is very general and it doesn't even have our names on. Any clarification please?

[CR001]

Brp is sufficient

Brp is sufficient

Thanks again, CR001.

That is just a guide. it is not a requirement

Thanks a lot, Zimba. Are you saying that, as long as the size of the file does not exceed the limit, those scans in color can still be used? I just wonder make sure that, HO won't have any issues with that...thanks anyway

Its all good. As long as the scans are under 6 MB, its fine. All my uploads were colored scan within 6 MB limit. If any of your pdf's are larger than 6 MB, just use any online service to compress the file whilst maintaining resolution quality. Worked well for me.

Hi all,

I am applying for my first British passport, and have one question not quite sure.

For the supporting document, apart from the naturalization certificate, the guidance also asks to provide

the passport that you used to come into the UK and any foreign passport you hold or are included on

.

My current passport was issued in the end of the last year, and since then I never left the UK... no travel at all for a year or so... Strictly speaking, I don't think it is the passport I used to come to the UK...

So, my questions is, shall I also provide my previous passport (or even the very first passport that I used to come to the UK in the first time)? They are all cancelled of course...

I saw similar questions asked by others, and Gurus say that we can just provide the current/valid passport. For other people, I think it's OK, as the Guidance doesn't actually ask for the passport you used to come to the UK for the first time. However, in my case, the current passport has not been used for travelling at all.

Any suggestions please? Thank you very much.

Current valid passport and the passport used to enter as stated on ur naturalisation application as entry date shall suffice.

Hi Guru,

I think that's the case, but just double check.

Does the certificate of British Citizenship mean the Certificate of Naturalisation? So once received the Certificate of Naturalisation in the ceremony, we need to return our ILR BRP card to the Home Office? Thanks.

I just want to make sure that, the certificate of British Citizenship is not something else. Thanks a lot.

It's the same thing. There is only one citizenship certificate. And yes ilr brp has to be returned to home office within 5 days of attending the ceremony.

p.s please continue your questions in your existing topic you already have instead of tagging onto another members thread.

Thanks, CR001.

By the way, it seems I am on my own thread...

Sorry, you are indeed, long day

Sorry, you are indeed, long day

No worries at all

I returned my BRP card today (attended ceremony a few days ago). After that, I was looking at the AN guide and the ceremony invitation letter. It says that, we need to return the BRP card after received the certificate of British Citizenship. Just want to make sure that the Certificate of Naturalisation we got at the end of the citizenship ceremony is indeed the certificate of British Citizenship, and it's alright to return the BRP card. That's all. Maybe a bit over thinking.

[CR001]

There is only one certificate that you get at the ceremony. There is nothing else.

You are overthinking yes
