I sent my completed passport application form, two passport photos (one signed as verfied by my referee on back), my certificate of naturalisation and my foreign passport which I entered the UK on (I only sent my current valid one and not my previous cancelled one which I also entered the UK on). Also (and this was somewhat of a pain as my claim to citizenship was not through ancestry so don't know why they needed it - but when I phoned the helpline they said I still had to do it...) I had to provide not only the date/place of birth and date of marriage for my parents but also for both sets of grandparents as well.

Hmm. I just ignored providing that information for the very reason you stated, as well as the rather difficult fact that I have no way of accessing that information as my grandparents are all deceased. Am still awaiting hearing from IPS about my passport application - wonder if this will have an impact?lmc wrote:

Global gypsy, the ceremony last 1-2 hours tops. You get the passport application form in a little "gift" package that the council gives to you along with your naturalisation certificate (or you could have got one at the post office earlier if you wished). The form is very simple to fill out, provided you can get hold of your countersignatory same day and get to the post office before they close at 5 or 6 pm. it is quite easy to apply for the passport on the same day.global gypsy wrote:I notice that several people here have sent out their passport applications on the same day as their citizenship ceremony.
How is this possible? The passport form requires you to enter your naturalisation details, and for a countersignatory to sign your form and photo. Can all this be done on the same day?
I wouldn't worry too much because when I did call to question it they said if you didn't have the info to just to explain why. So if they question it they will probably just get in touch with you and you can explain you don't have access to the info. Or if you are worried you could perhaps call the helpline and see what they advise.Cane wrote:Hmm.

Yes right after the ceremony you can complete the passport application form, enter your naturalisation details, have your countersignatory fill out their bit/sign everything and submit your application that same day. In fact in the packet given to me at my naturalisation ceremony there was a passport application (in addition to an application form for registering for the electoral roll and other things).global gypsy wrote:I notice that several people here have sent out their passport applications on the same day as their citizenship ceremony.

Yes the person who countersigns your application form at section 10 (your ‘countersignatory’) should also certify one (not both) of the photographs. They actually have to write the statement found here, sign and date it:citizen1000 wrote:Hi I just remembered .
that I had attached photo , but the photo was not signed by my refree at the back.
do refree need to sign the photo?
Thanks
