Note that the restriction on applying for first British passports from abroad applies to people who acquired their British citizenship by naturalisation, as it would appear to contradict the "future intentions" requirement of the naturalisation requirements.paranoi8androi8 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:03 pmHi CR001, thanks for that info - I wasn't aware.

Thank you - this is interesting to read. I called HMPO and was informed that there is no restriction on applying for a first adult passport from abroad - infact the questions in the application form clearly allow for this, and there are several examples of people even on this forum who have successfully received their first adult passports post-naturalisation by applying from overseas.secret.simon wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 3:19 amNote that the restriction on applying for first British passports from abroad applies to people who acquired their British citizenship by naturalisation, as it would appear to contradict the "future intentions" requirement of the naturalisation requirements.paranoi8androi8 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 09, 2021 5:03 pmHi CR001, thanks for that info - I wasn't aware.

British citizens who acquired their British citizenship in other ways (by registration or by descent, for instance) can apply for their first British passport from abroad.
SRU - Revocation of British Citizenship
Naturalization refused due to no fault of my own (though in this case, the HMPO made an error in issuing British passports before the citizenship ceremony and the applicant made it clear to the Home Office that they plan to leave the UK before the naturalisation ceremony - i.e. before actually acquiring British citizenship. This was later reversed).
Agreed - and I suppose it's fair that they take a second look. It could be that some people pretend to live in the UK but were actually in another country the whole time.HCJNL wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 10:39 amAlso, it is not forbidden to apply for your first passport overseas if you made a 6(1) application. Applying for your first passport from overseas does not automatically mean that you fail the future intentions requirement. But it invites scrutiny from the Home Office.
