You have to send your original national passport to HMPO when you apply for BP.
HMPO is a completely different department to UKVI and they need the passport to for identity purposes and to verify you are using the same name across all passports you hold to prevent multiple identities and fraud.axeman85 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 22, 2020 2:00 pmI dont understand why they ask you to send other country passport and documents again.
You hve applied for Ilr and citizenship and all these were provided, why ask again... csnt they just ask you to upload copies of documents they need and process the passport that way or make use of the recent documents with ukvcas and ho....
Filling application online and then having to go postoffice to send documents again is just not good enough. Time consuming and causes delays....
It will be a lot more harder plus for now BP may take months to process.
Thanks for an idea but that is not possible for the first BP applications. I have called them and they said I can not have it urgent.pseudonymmed wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 11:41 amI would just add that sometimes passport applications can be done faster if it is an urgent need, such as a family emergency. I have no idea what proof you would need to give or how quickly it could be processed though, or whether it's been affected by Covid-19, but here's the link to the passport website section about getting a passport urgently.. you may want to call one of the numbers at the bottom of the page..
