Thanks!
Send what they asking for ...Passport. I have the same like you and sent yesterday the application with my passport.AliceD wrote:Hi, I have a question regarding the supporting documents for the new passport after naturalisation.
It is mentioned in the application that I need to send all uncancelled passports. I have an EU passport and also an EU identity card, and I can use both to enter the UK. Do I need to send the passport or is the ID good enough? Or is the form referring only to uncancelled british passports?
Thanks
I just need to travel on my passport quite often within the next few months so this would delay my application for a passport until end of the year. Was trying to figure out if there is a way around it.Res wrote:Send what they asking for ...Passport.

The rules say send passport and not ID so you have to allow yourself around 6 weeks of no travel to wait for UK passport to be issued. But given there will be a pile up of applications (new and renewals) leading to summer holidays, you may have to make a decision of applying now or later. There is a premium and fast track service but not available for first UK adult passport.AliceD wrote:I just need to travel on my passport quite often within the next few months so this would delay my application for a passport until end of the year.

Your case seems similar to my wife's, see:hsmpjr wrote:hi,
My wife also facing same issue, we have decided to change her surname to be mine when applied for naturalization. It clearly says on the naturalization certificate that he maiden was her old name and new name with my surname. We all applied on the same day, i have already got my interview letter and attended interview as well. When we called passport office they said there is a difference in the name in application and her current foreign passport hence they sent a letter and need to wait until we receive that. I was told that the letter was dated 6th May but we haven't received it. Can anybody help on this if you have been through this already?
