I need some information re my wife citizenship application.
My BC application was approved few days ago and I am in process of arranging the citizenship ceremony. Once I receive my certificate my wife will apply for her citizenship.
My questions are
1)- Her foreign passport is going to expire on 12/05/2013, can she send her expired passport with her BC application or do we have to renew it. - valid passport is not necessary for application
2)- Do I have to send my British passport or just my BC certificate is sufficient? If I don’t have to send my British passport then she will be able to apply before 12/05/2013 while her foreign passport is still valid. - certificate is fine, however you need to send your certificate with your BC passport application

Thanks for your help

Use NCS for ur wife's application, all they will need is to take a copy of ur naturalisation certificate and return it to you and while your wife's application is being considered you can then go ahead and apply for your british passport....thats what i did and it worked out fine.
goodluck

They wont ask for your Passport if you tell them you have ur certficate of naturalization...its not a requirement to have a british Passport to prove you are british.

thanks again. I was asking this because supporting documents section of Form AN asks for passport

SECTION 6 Evidence of marriage for applications made on the basis of marriage or civil partnership to a British citizen.
• Husband’s, wife’s or civil partner’s passport or birth certificate AND
• The marriage certificate or civil partnership certificate

Leave it blank as she will say that she is 'unemployed' or a 'housewife'.
