After receiving your certificate of naturalisation, you should apply for your British passport.

You must have British nationality i.e. naturalisation certificate to apply for or hold a British passport.

Having British nationality does not guarantee you a passport. For example, you may not get a new passport (or your existing passport may be taken from you) if:

• you’re suspected of a serious crime and an arrest warrant has been issued
• a court order stops you having a UK passport or restricts your travel
• you’re on bail and bail conditions mean you cannot leave the UK
• you’ve been brought back to the UK before at the government’s expense and have not repaid what you owe
• you’ve received a European Union or United Nations order which restricts your travel
