First British passport - documents
 
Hi

almost at the end of 8 years of jumping through hoops, sending off for the British passport and they requested my wife’s naturalisation certificate no issue there and…..

“any current or expired passports from other countries that haven't been cancelled”

im not sure how to interpret this. Does this mean her current foreign passport alone, or to include her previous foreign passports which are obviously expired?

does expired mean cancelled ?

Thankyou

It says current or expired, so yes, include the expired ones too.

So it’ll just be her current passport as her previous passports will have been cancelled when she submitted a renewal application (corners cut off/hole punched).
