Help needed after british citizenship

Post by MannyWarrior » Tue Nov 10, 2020 6:09 pm

Hello,

So I recently became British citizen and all is good finally! However, I noticed on this forum I need to send the BRP back to the home office but I wasn't told at the register office or anything?

Also, I have a UK travel document do I return this before or after the passport arriving?

All help is appreciated

Did you apply via the refugee route? You mean you have Home Office TD?

I've got the red travel document(Stateless). I'm just not sure if I return this alongside the BRP? And IF so, when do I need to return them to avoid the fine?

Thanks

Add a cover letter and send this when you apply for a British Passport. HMPO will retain this and send to the relevant department. They will also issue you a letter.

You also have to return your ILR BRP to HO.

Alright thanks for that, that's what I will do!

When do I need to return my BRP? Now? or after the passport?

Actually you had to return your ILR BRP within 5 days of attending the Citizenship ceremony. However, just return asap with recorded delivery.
