Hi,

Could you someone suggest if I can apply for British Citizenship with Expired Indian Passport?

ILR issue Date - 07/12/2017
Passport expiry Date- 11/12/2018

Am I ok to submit my application online and make appointment with Sopra ( New visa service) for documents submission on 10/12/2018. So that I will be making application before expiry.

If I miss that can I still apply with Expired Passport?

Thanks in Advance.

There is no requirement that you have to have a valid passport for naturalisation applications.

Thanks @CR001...

Am I allowed to submit my online application today or tomorrow.

I mean I won’t be completing my 12 months.

You must only apply once you have completed the full 12 months on ILR.
