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.
 
And only the biographical pages. You don't need to photocopy the entire passport.
