Indian Passport Renewal -due to apply for BC
Posted: Sun Apr 07, 2013 3:29 pm
Hello everyone,
Can anyone kindly suggest what the best course of action would be in my situation?
I am due to apply for BC on 14th of May.
My current Indian passport expires on 22nd of May.
I have no plans to travel in the next 6 months.
My question is:
Is a valid Indian Passport necessary for the BC application to be considered ( it will still be valid at the time of application and for another 8 days after application )
Is a valid Indian Passport needed for attending BC Ceremony?
Is it needed application for British Passport?
Or needed for renunciation of Indian Citizenship after Naturalisation as BC?
The only reason why I do not want to have it renewed is the worry of losing the passport in the whole renewal process, I have traveled frequently in the past 3 years and my passport is really the only way I think which shows my travel history.
Thank you in advance for reading my query and taking time and effort to answer it.
