Sure, but a week of it was dithering with the passport office. They sent me a letter asking me to confirm that I *really* wanted the passport; suggesting that as an American maybe I would want to check with the US consulate before proceeding.John wrote: You waited three weeks?
Yep, SF is San Francisco. I grew up near there (Marin county).Joseph wrote:sfgirl (as in San Francisco?)
BTW, next time you renew your US passport you will have to include a copy of your British Naturalisation certificate along with a signed statement saying that you took British Citizenship without the intention of losing your US citizenship. You will also have to strike out the statement in the preprinted application form that says you have not naturalised in another country, because otherwise you would be signing a false application.
User wrote:Hi All,
I have submitted my british passport application today using the Post office Check-and-send service.
Hoping to see my passport soon.
Documents I submitted include:
1. Completed application form, with the countersignature (basically teh complete section 10 of the application, by my accountant who knows me for more than 2 years now).
2. 2 Photographs, one of which has the "certificate of true likeness of me" by my accountant. at the back of the photograph.
3. My Indian passports (including the additional booklet)
4. My Naturalisation certificate that I recevied from the HO after having got it corrected recently
Paid £47 for the application processing, and an additional £7 for post office check-and-send service and also another £3 for getting back my naturalisation
certificate and indian passport via special delivery.
The service was "super" - she browsed through the documents and even read through teh "how to fill" brochure tha tcomes with the applcaition pack, so that I did not miss enclosing any other needed documents.
15 minutes in all! (including paying the fees).
Notes (form my experience of application filling up process):
1. Ensure you don't tick the "need a 48 page passport", since it is not applicable to First time adult passports. The Application guide does not say this explicitly (it just says this option is not available for children passport).
2. In section 5 (i think) where you fill up the naturalisation certificate details, ensure that you fill the place of issue as the city that is named in the certificate (i guess it wil be London for eveyone, mine said HO London), although i recieved it in Manchester where i took my citizenship ceremony.
This is what i got confirmed from the nationality team!
Will keep you all posted once I get my British passport in hand
regards.
Ta!

When I confirmed in writing that, yes, I wanted it assuming that I wouldn't lose my US one (it was about this time that I discovered this forum), a woman phoned me from the passport agency to confirm that I really really wanted to go ahead. I then wrote a second letter, using her form of words.
All of this took a week or so. Weird stuff!
