I would seriously recommend that anyone 16 or over get there 10 year passport NOW (before March 26th, so apply ASAP). the following should explain
Its only for new applicants and its hardly a bad thing really. Besides, they ask most of the questions listed above at job interviews and at the benefits office, loan applications etc. Not exactly intrusive. tbh Its about time our customs caught up with the rest of the world.
My passport is still being processed, my old one which was on my mums expired about 7-8 years ago. I did get a letter the other day, saying my british citizenship application has been accepted and I go to a ceremony in March to complete it
