Hi Everyone, Please I have some questions and I need your help for those who have encountered same while submitting their citizenship application;

1. What do I respond to the question 14a; Have you held travel documents and/or passports during your five (5) year eligibility period? I have held passports for the 5 year eligibility period, but I misplaced my old passport, though I have the photocopy of the biodata page of the old passport. I have my current passport with me. Will I need the the physical copies of all passports at any time during or after the citizenship application? If yes, what do I do in this situation?

2. My daughter's passport expired November 2019 and I have not renewed it. She is a minor. Can she use the expired passport as one proof of ID in addition with her health card? How do I respond to the question 8c; Do you have all the required photocopies for the 5 year eligibility period? Her 5 year eligibility period would be from 2015-2020. But she has passport for the period of 2105 - 2019 as I haven't renewed her expired passport.

Also, how do I respond to question 9D; Are any gaps in time in the validity period of the minor's passport during the past 5 years, or since the minor became a permanent residence, which ever is more recent?
I was thinking of ticking "Yes" and explaining that my daughter's passport expired in November 2019 and I hadn't renewed it. Please is this accurate? I would appreciate help from experts or people who have similar experience.

Thank you.
