Passport at UKM ceremony?
I understand from reading a post, which I can't find anymore, that it is possible to get a passport at your UKM ceremony. I think that is correct? If I remember correctly you can either apply at the ceremony with your paperwork or beforehand. I am foggy about this. Please can anyone clarify the best practice for this. I would like a passport once I am approved for UKM.
Cheers, Stef

Hi Stef,
That may have been the case when British passports were still issued by overseas posts but since all passport processing is now done in the UK you'll need to wait until after your ceremony in order to apply. The processing times from the US however are very quick; two weeks in total is usual.

No ceremony date. Just an email to retrieve my documents. Is this normal?
Thank you!

Re: Passport at UKM ceremony?
Hello BritInParis, is this dependent primarily on place of processing, or place of birth ? I recall when looking up that estimate a while ago, that it reported ~6 weeks, but I assumed that was because my place of birth isn't US, just place of application (I haven't applied yet, though).
Responded in your other thread.
