Query-British Passport processing after Naturalisation?
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2016 2:55 pm
Hi there!
I have got my Naturalisation certificate (via ceremony at my local council) on 04/08/2016 and now waiting for my British passport. Note: I did apply my British passport sametime as naturalisation application via NCS - JCAP service]
When I checked the processing timelines in the immigration board website, after ceremony, the passport application processing takes 8-10 calendar days to complete. Since it's been more than 10 and no response so far, I did contact the HM Passport Office for the status checks - It appears, they are still waiting for UK V&I team to inform HM PO to proceed with my passport application to issue it to me.
Is there anything (any contact number to reach out UK V&I team), I can do here to speed-up the process as I am very badly looking for my passport to come through due to my travel plans.
Please advise. Thanks in advance!
