Pick up a passport application form from post office which will tell you exactly what to submit based on your situation.

2. Naturalisation certificate (ORIGINAL)
3. Your Indian passport (ORIGINAL)
4. The photo with countersignees sign in the back
5. Fees (can be paid by credit/debit card if you use post office check-and-send)

Thats all I remember having submitted and I got my B-passport.

They are just basic question which you alone will know
Sometimes they can pull your credit file and ask question like how long have you been with your bank,where you lived , who is the provider of your contract phone etc
You should be fine

Is it likely that everyone have to visit for the Interview or only those one's whom they have doubt ?

Its for everyone having their first adult passport for past few years. Its nothing, just your personal information and that's it.
If you need information you can click here to get a general idea of what they ask. :)
Being British is a state of mind.

Quick follow up question for everone -

Do you include self addressed special delivery envelopes for returning your original document and for the return of your new passport?

Thanks.

Hi All,

Just a quick question please.

I am applying for my british passport after getting the naturalisation certificate (based on 5 years Tier 1+WP and 1 year ILR).

In the list of documents it says to send the passport you used to come into the UK?

Question: Do I need to send my old passport (used to first enter the UK on work permit and it EXPIRED a while ago) or the latest renewed one (Current one)?

Please advise as i need to apply for passport asap

Many thanks
