As the home office has not returned my passport as requested weeks ago and is still sitting on my citizenship application...I'll be one of the furrin' applying to EUSS late (today) with the paper form as... No current ID.
I'm not bothered about it as no plans to travel and application proof protects your rights. Partner and son are both British dual nationals.
Besides citizenship may land before EUSS...we shall see.
But truly one hand of the HO has all my details / ID and the other hand hasn't a clue / cannot access those, no warning letter, no letter from anyone, 18 years of tax records... 😁
I can see the absurdity but many people are ultra stressed due to different circumstances, border office being twats when travelling back into UK...
IIRC your passport issuing authority may forbid you from sending your passport to the HO, and the HO’s legal right to demand that you do so is also questionable. This from reading threads on Twitter about the subject from a while ago, so may of course be total bollocks.
