First passport application - document guidelines

[u/blackhole2424]

Hi all!

I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find this in the search, so hopefully this is quicker and okay to ask here. :)

In my case, I can no longer find the "passport used to enter the UK". It expired in 2017 and was marked as such by my home country's consulate here in the UK (with the edges cut). I'm sure it's *somewhere* and I will try to find it, but it may be lost. Has anyone had this scenario and have there been any issues for you? I just want to make sure I know what to expect and whether to leave a note or letter or something.

I'm also bit confused by the guideline "either a colour photocopy of every page" - but then in the next bullet it doesn't say anything about photocopies. Does that mean I don't have to surrender a physical copy at all?

TL;DR passport used to enter the UK is no longer available to me, do I send the naturalisation certificate + my current passport (original) & is that sufficient?

Thank you!

Sending your current passport is fine.
