Hi there,
can any one let me know that once we have attended the citizenship ceremony and got the certificate, how long MAXIMUM we can delay to apply for passport ? I mean is it mandatory that one must apply for the passport within the certain time period after his naturalization ceremony has been conducted?

Thanks

This is no requirement to get a passport at all.

Thanks wanderer for your reply.
So if want to travel abroad with my old Passport soon after my citizenship ceremony, will it not be an issue while leaving and entering the UK (without holding the British Passport). I will use the old Passport as I am allowed to keep dual nationality.

Even if you are not allowed dual citizen ship the UK won't tell your country of origin you now got Uk citizenship.
my country of origin doesn't allow dual citizen ship but as long as I don't tell the they won't know

There is no time limit, you can choose not to apply British passport at all if your circumstances doesnt warrant to.

thanks a lot all of you guys for taking me out of this confusion.
Thanks everbody
