Hello There, i have put my citizenship application in november, i had put a copy of all sheets of my current passport with the application. I now understand that we need to submit all the passports (even expired ones) for the citizenship applications.

Can anyone here share their experience? how was the application returned - did they send a letter along with it? Was it considered as a new application when submitted again? how long did the AOR take? etc..

Thank you for your comments!

Does your current passport cover the last 5 years immediately before the date you signed your application? If so, then you're fine. If not, then it will be returned unfortunately.

From the guide,

  • photocopies of all valid and expired passports or travel documents you had in the past 5 years. If you don’t have these documents or there are gaps in time between travel documents, we will ask for an explanation.
