Assistance with BC Application and Related Queries

Good day, respected members,

I am preparing to apply for British Citizenship (BC) through an ILR obtained with a Tier 2 visa. However, I have just discovered that my Zimbabwean passport has expired. Could you kindly advise if I need to renew my passport before applying, or can I proceed with the application as I am already residing in the UK?

Additionally, I would appreciate your guidance on whether I need to disclose a traffic offense (IN10) I received over a year ago for driving without insurance, which resulted in a fixed penalty charge of £300.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

No. You can use your expired passport to apply.
