Passport Expired

Post by Messiah » Thu Apr 18, 2024 7:36 am

Hi,

Quick question: I am applying for British citizenship, my foreign passport expires on late April 2024, I have my ILR in date and my appointment for biometrics is the first week of May 2024. Do I need to provide any further details if my passport is expired by a couple of days?

Bear in mind, my application has been submitted and paid for. So, in that time if my passport expires due to only being able to get an appointment in May, this should not affect my application right?

Thanks in advance:)

Should be fine, just explain in a cover letter and bring your BRP and passport to the ukvcas appointment.

It's not compulsory, just advised in case you have particular circumstances to explain.
