Cannot find passport used to enter UK. Passport application

Post by Ben1989 » Mon Jun 13, 2022 5:38 pm

Hi all,

Applying for a British passport after receiving my naturalisation certificate. When you fill everything in online it asks for documents:

- naturalisation certificate
- passport used to enter UK
- current and expired passport.

I cannot find the passport used to enter the UK with. This is the one which had my spouse visa vignette in. Is this major problem? Not sure what to do

It's not an issue, not everyone has a full set of old passports, some get lost/stolen, some being retained by the issuing authority on renewal. Just include your current passport.

Thank you.

So just to clarify, I only need to send naturalisation certificate and current foreign passport?

Yes, that's what most applicant seem to do (including myself some years ago).
