Is such a letter really needed when both parents are applying at the same time? If yes, is there a template for such letter? - Once you filled your applications, HO will provide you the referee and consent form to download

[Royal_desire]

Are you allowed to let anybody else sign paper if so who can i tell ? As i have mentioned his name on the application please advice sir

[Royal_desire]

Please reply sir ??

[alterhase58]

Suggest you find someone else who qualifies as a referee and then upload that form with a covering note explaining that the intended referee was not available and you had to find someone at short notice.

Dear moderates
Hope you okay
Wanted to ask after you get your citizenship letter
Can we fast track get ceremony appointment and how do we get it please advice ?

And i have indian passport as we not allowed dual citizenship, so do we go ceremony first then straight away apply british passports , get the british then after surrender indian or how does it work please advice sir will really appreciate you response please

[meself2]

Can we fast track get ceremony appointment and how do we get it please advice ?

You need to contact your council when they get your certificate from HO to see if they're offering private ceremonies, which are usually available earlier, but come with a price.

And i have indian passport as we not allowed dual citizenship, so do we go ceremony first then straight away apply british passports , get the british then after surrender indian or how does it work

Seems like it, going from the embassy website:
https://www.hcilondon.gov.in/page/surre ... -passport/

There is a grace period of three months after acquisition of foreign nationality (to be counted from the date of registration / Naturalisation Certificate and not from the date of foreign passport) for using Indian passport for travel. But the grace period is not applicable once the British/Foreign Passport is acquired, he/she should travel only on the British/Foreign passport once the same is obtained even if he/she is within the grace period of three months.

But I'm unsure, that's more of a question for "other countries" subforum.

[Royal_desire]

Thanks sir
So basically indian passport can be held til you achieve you british passport ? then you can surrender
But on website it says that youl have to surrender first before you apply because youl need the surrender certificate for British Passport, really confused on three month etc message

Duno if we should surrender or keep it til we achive british hope other moderates can help on this

Can you please ask your Indian passport surrender questions in the other countries sub forum. These questions are not relevant to the British citizenship sub forum.

Note your surrender certificate is NOT required for a British passport. The uk allows you to hold multiple nationalities. It is India that does not.

None of this is required.

Exactly the same process you followed. The checklist will tell her what is required. It is minimal documents.

Dear moderates
Hope you okay
Am booked for citizenship ceremony on wed so after i get my citizenship certificate can i apply for my british passport same day ? And whats the procedure of indian passport as i have to send my indian passport and a copy of my marriage certificate right ? I dont have original marriage certificate isit okay ?

[CR001]

For british passport you do not send you marriage cert. You only send foreign passports that are not cancelled and the naturalisation certificate

[Royal_desire]

Noted sir really appreciate is there any timline of how long it takes for british first passport as apparently on news it said there were on strike please advice sir amd can i pay extra for premium service to get passport early ?

[CR001]

There is NO fast track service for first adult British passports.

The strikes are it really affecting rhe process. Members report receiving passports within 3 to 4 weeks but it can take up to 10 weeks.

Noted sir hopefully itl come early
So all i need to send is is my my Indian passport original and my birth certificate original right

[CR001]

For british passport you do not send you marriage cert. You only send foreign passports that are not cancelled and the naturalisation certificate

No, not your birth certificate. Where are getting these ideas from?

Read the passport guidance, it tell you what you need if a naturalised British citizen.

There's no issue with travel AFTER application and biometrics - it's not an immigration application and your travels will have no impact on your wife's application currently in progress.
