很有帮助！
下礼拜才面试，结束一定来分享。
Girls and boys,
I have a question. If my passport is expired, can I still apply the UK citizenship?
I can not renew my passport, because my government says that I have not done my national service.
So do you have any ideas that I still can apply for it?
Thank you
没明白,你的国家是哪个国家?新加坡或是台湾?
我觉得你没有新护照一样可以申请citizenship，并不影响。最好还是问问NCS或者是home office.
Thank you, I feel relief now. I was so worried, because I can not renew my passport.
I am from Taiwan by the way. Thank you for you help again.
是不是你们政府不想你入英国籍，想让你回国服兵役啊:roll:
HAHA, YES. It is in our constitution. Every healthy man have to do the national service after 18 years old.
So annoying. And I can not withdraw my nationality without going back to Taiwan to finish my duty first.
HAHA, it is so weird.
你们就是服了兵役也不是大陆的对手啊，政府想什么呢，还不如就放过自己的国民，谁想当兵就当，像美国一样招募制的多好，还有工资和福利拿:cn14:
HAHA, that is exactly what i think.
And my governmernt is planning to doing that.
My two brothers do not need to do the national service.
Lucky them.
But unfortunately, I still need to do it, even I hold the UK passport.
After I become the Uk citizen, I have to change my name.
So I can go back to Taiwan for a long holiday.
I still have a long way to go.
为毛你入了英国籍都要服兵役呢？ 台湾政府疯了吧:cn05:
你就是改了名字，但是英国护照上面会写出生地点台湾，那个时候你能拿到台湾签证回台湾度假吗
I hope so. At least, that is what I heard.
I need to figure out everything before I go back to Taiwan.
I really do not want to waste my two years life for the stupid national service.
The end of world is coming.
2012!!!
更新进度:
10月15日NCS递交申请
10月22日申请费被home office从银行划走
10月27日收到UK Border Agency的确认信dated 10月21日（acknowledgement of the receipt of the application）- 敌人用的是2nd class royal mail service
11月10日收到UK Border Agency的Approval Letter (dated on 11月3日)-敌人还是用的2nd class royal mail service
11月10日同时还收到Local Council的Group Ceremony Invitation Letter邀请参加11月23日的集体入籍仪式，准备打电话预约参加私人的入籍仪式。另，Council 居然用的是1st class royal mail service还是手帖的女皇侧面的金色邮票。
11月11日预约到11月13日星期六在council做私人的入籍仪式，主要是为了赶时间拿护照。非常的贵，居然要交180磅！听说有些council很便宜只要50-60磅就可以私人仪式了。要不是中国护照到哪里都要签证受歧视，谁花这个冤枉钱入什么英国籍啊！？希望祖国日益强大，也早日认可双重国籍！
11月13日上午11点在COUNCIL参加私人入籍仪式，10点55分赶到，11点整开始，历时7分钟就结束了，拿到了传说中的”入籍纸“。我深深地爱着自己的祖国，对入籍始终是心如止水，因为从来就没想做什么英国人，只为能有一张出行方便的通行证罢了。出了宣誓厅立马就把刚说的誓言呸掉了，心中默念“老子刚才说的话绝不算数！”。
11月15日下午在post office用Check & Send Services-记住使用post office里面排队叫号机上的Travel Money选项，因为有两个窗口专门负责Travel Money其中包括check & send service,这样就可以避免随大流排大队了。所需文件包括申请表，两张照片（有一张背后要推荐人签名），入籍纸，latest中国护照。另，如果改了名字的还需要deed poll document。
11月23日收到Identity & Passport Service的面试邀请信（dated on 11月19日）。马上预约面试，可惜伦敦最早只能预约到2个礼拜之后 - 约到了12月7日面试。入籍纸和中国护照已经被courier deliver过了，可是人不在家，还要重新rearrange delivery。
12月7日伦敦面试.相关的面试问题如下:
Asked my name, address, date of birth, how long I lived at the current address, am I registered to vote at the current address, who else lives at this address and name, my parents dates of birth and birth place, when they got married, when did I have the citizenship ceremony and where, how I sent my passport application form and what supporting documents I sent with the application, did I get my supporting documents back, where I asked the supporting documents to be sent back, did I pay a fee for the supporting documents to be sent back using secured delivery, did I ask for a special type of passport and what is it, who signed my passport application and my photo, how old is she/he, how did I know her/him and for how long, what is the email address I put in my passport application form, how many credit cards that I have, and with which credit card issuer.
这是所有的问题了。面试结束后面试官通知４－１０个工作日内ＩＰＳ把护照寄到。
恭喜 lz{:5_137:}
谢了。
我准备拿到护照再高兴，希望是新版的护照，呵呵:cn14:
能问下为什么你们都选私人入籍仪式呀，group时间上不好吗？还是要等很久呀{:5_132:}
私人仪式时间任你挑，主要是平时挤不出时间参加group ceremony.
哦 我以为group的要等很久，所以大家都选私人的了{:5_134:}
很详细，谢谢楼主。
请问明年入籍要改是指完全取消还是怎么滴？不需要确切的答案，哪怕是rumors也行
动动脑子，入籍有可能取消吗？？英国政府希望大量拿绿卡的人早日入籍。所有才有了之后，拿绿卡比入籍时间要长，要难的多的原因，英国政府不希望大量的人只拿绿卡不入籍。
