Under current rules (which could always change), you can apply for a passport as a "renewal" if:Marco 72 wrote:By the way, does anyone know if I still need to send in my naturalisation certificate when applying for a new passport, or will the old one suffice as proof of nationality?
- your last passport was a standard adult 10-year passport and
- you still have your last passport and
- your passport is not damaged and
- you do not need to change your name or national status
Supporting documents do not normally need to be supplied for a renewal.
Note that in some countries the rules are stricter. For example, Canadian passports can't be "renewed" and every application is treated like a first time application.
