Hi,
Can I travel on my Indian passport once I have my naturalisation certificate but have not got my passport yet? I need to travel to India urgently but till I get my documents (British Passport - 6 weeks, Indian Passport surrender, OCI, etc) it will be a good 3 months or so.

Does this impact/affect anything in any way? Is it legal?
Please advise

Depends how long you be away for.

From the day you become british citizen (ceremony day) you have 3 months grace period where you can still use your indian passport.

Also to get back into the UK you will need to show your citizenship certificate at the airport.

Regards,

jazz

Hi Jazz

I'd been looking for information on this - are you able to point us to information on, or where we can find, the rules for this?

Kind regards

Greg
