New procedure for confirming non-acquisition of British citizenship
01 April 2009
If you are a national of a country that does not recognise dual nationality but you are resident in the United Kingdom, your country's government may require you to confirm that you have not become a British citizen before you can renew your national passport.
The UK Border Agency is introducing a new process and fee for requests to confirm the non-acquisition of British citizenship. These will apply to requests received on or after 6 April 2009.
If you need confirmation that you have not acquired British citizenship, you will need to apply using form NQ (PDF 94K opens in new window) and enclose the fee and payment slip from the fees leaflet (PDF 2.0M opens in new window).
You must complete both parts of form NQ, and provide the correct address to which we should provide confirmation. The completed form, fee and payment slip should be sent to:
Home Office
PO Box 306
Dept 101
LIVERPOOL
L2 0QN
