How could I travel before receiving British passport?

[Alex_London2]

Hi Guys,

Apologies as the question has been asked many times but I wanted to get a definitive answer.

I need to submit my first British passport application (after naturalisation) next week as I am relocating for work to a foreign country in three weeks. My questions are:
1. Must I submit my current passport (a non-EU country) together with the application? Or is there a way to avoid that?
2. If I must submit my current passport, it means that I would not be able to travel in three weeks. So my ONLY option is not to apply for British passport before my relocation? ie, the only option is to apply the British passport overseas?

Many thanks
Alex

You have to submit the original current passport.
