hi,
i applied for passport this week..and submitted..original birth certificate..
certified translation and copy of birth affidavit as my original BC is not in the long form.I submitted the copy of birth affidavit as the original birth affidavit was submitted to INIS for naturalisation application.
I was told it will take 15 working days to process the passport application..
