Passport - Application

Post by fsharich » Sun Jan 02, 2011 1:12 pm

I meant how long can I wait? Do I need to apply immediately or can I apply 1 year after?

I am asking to make sure I don't loose my naturalisation, even If I get divorced.

Thanks

A passport is application is completely separate to Nationality. You don't need to ever apply for a passport if you choose not to. It won't affect your status as a British Citizen.

Passport - Application

Post by fsharich » Mon Jan 03, 2011 2:54 pm

Hi Casa

I am asking because I have some problems with the address I put in the application for naturalisation.
I am thinking about going back to my country and apply from there.

Would I have to attend an interview in person?

Thanks
