Hi,

I am currently waiting for my naturalisation letter from UKBA (applying after 4 WP and 1 ILR).

I have a question, when subsequently applying for the passport - do I need to send my original foreign passport with my application or there is also a way to use servic like check and send so you dont have to send originals?

Thanks!

You always need to send your foreign passport for first passport application even if using Check & Send. Check & Send just check the application form but do not certify copies.

The main reason is to establish your identity and prevent ID theft.
