Nataly 38 #1 March 19, 2010 I'm applying for my UK passport now that I will officially be British in 6 days.. (And I'm just wondering.. If a passport is how one identifies oneself.. How is an interview going to establish that I am who I say I am??! I really can't think what they could ask - especially since they tell you you don't have to bring any documents except for your appointment invitation letter!! I don't remember having to do anything like that when I applied for my first Canadian passport.. Do any other nationalities do this??

NovaTTT 2 #3 March 19, 2010 Maybe it's another sign of the Post 9-11 World, but given the flaming hoops of fire I had to jump through recently to get a US passport, I'm thinking the interview process might be more extensive than you're considering. A Canadian, newly British, looking for a passport as soon as your citizenship is minted? They might have a thorough interview in line for you. Good luck!
