British Citizenship application queries

Congratulations! This means you have been approved.

It does happen that there is a delay in receiving the email from the Home Office. I would suggest getting in touch with the council to explain you don't have the official email yet andif this causes an issue.

Congrats!

The council will only send an invite if they have received your naturalisation certificate, which is the absolute proof you will be a British citizen once the registrar has signed.

As said, there's normally a delay in receiving the Home Office email - this email is only advisory. There have been cases where that email was never received but person was admitted to the ceremony, because they have to give you the certificate, after the oath.

But do contact the council, just in case.

Thank you both, I have got email from "Home Office Atlas" today, and I am targeting (if council can accommodate) for Premium ceremony sometime this week and post that I will apply for British Passport and will post here for any query with regards to passport application.

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for the guidance and support you all selfless members provided throughout my citizenship process. Your prompt responses, clear explanations made a complex journey much easier to navigate. Yours kindness and sheer knowledge have made a meaningful difference, and I am deeply thankful for your help. Thank you all once again for your support.

Due to unforeseen reason council has cancelled my private appointment, and next available is my regular one (10 June 2026), therefore i might take time to ask query on passport. Thanks

You will always find the forum here. Do you have any queries/anxieties about the passport application process? Have you made travel plans for the summer?

The passport application is a relatively straightforward application. Not a re-run of naturalisation, as you’ll be British when you apply. And faster. There’ll always be something that may not be clear or is confusing . Ask questions in this thread if you need to.

Hi Experts - I know this is not the thread to ask question about the British passport application, but I could not find any suitable forum (my bad).

They do ask below:

"Applicant’s documents
Send the following:
naturalisation or registration certificate
the passport used to enter the UK – send either a colour photocopy of every page (including blank pages) or the physical passport
any current or expired passports from other countries that haven’t been cancelled"

"any current or expired passports from other countries that haven’t been cancelled" Does this means i need to send old passport which got expired as well?

[alterhase58]

They mean "expired" passports - not cancelled through defacing, corner cut or similar.

Hi All / Experts,

I have applied for British Passport on same day I got the naturalisation (date of Naturalisation : 10 June 2026), and received my passport on 25 June 2026 in post too.

Just wanted to make one point, for passport i have given non listed profession and still they approved, so i guess the list there is just quite old and never been updated.

Thanks everyone for your assistance in this journey.

Hi All,

Firstly i apologies, as i am not getting the correct thread to post my query, and also i am not able to create a new post.

This query is for my Wife.

My wife joined me in UK on March 2024, and that time i was having Skilled worker visa, so she came as a dependant back in March 2024 on my skilled worker visa

Post that i have applied and got ILR on May 2024 (as i have used 1 day service), and on June 2026 i have obtained British citizenship.

Query:

1) Her Visa is due for renewal in Oct 2026, so do i need to apply for FLR (M)
2) Does her Clock for ILR reset back to Zero and does she needs to wait more 5 years after her new Visa?

This question should be asked in a different subforum as it is not regarding an application for citizenship.
