Thanks very much , but I would like to ask if in fact you sent the colour photos and were they accepted? I stupidly already applied and naively entered my second passport details online ...

The UK government's request is just so over the top given if you're a USC you can only enter and leave with that passport. No amount of ETF's from the idiot Brits are going to overcome that problem.

Hello, I too have a secondary citizenship and Passport. this means that if I send my UK passport AND second state passport, would not be able to travel in emergency, as would not be able to exit the country where I reside.
When I asked the phone help line person, he said the only exemption from this demand could be for someone who could show that they were employed in a business that requires travel. He also said that its possible for the UK or its Consulate to offer Emergency Travel Papers. I said that this would not be valid for EXIT from my place of residence.. in addition, I imagine this could be an expensive item!. Meanwhile I have paid the Application Fee by Debit Card...
If I do send colour photos of my second passport and there is a demand for the original, it could mean further delay beyond the Four Weeks.
What should I do?
