Hi Thanks for your question. I will try to help. I am afraid you are not yet eligible for a UK passport. This is because you have not obtained a PR card. The rules were changed about a year ago, so that applicants for naturalisation must hold a PR card if they are EEA nationals. So, you must first apply for PR and obtain it before you naturalise. Details on how you can apply are on the following page:https://www.gov.uk/apply-for-a-uk-residence-card/permanent-residence-card IF the home office confirm that you have had PR from a date prior to the date they actually issue the card then you can apply for naturalisation once year has passed since that date. If the home office do not acknowledge that you held PR prior to the date that they actually issue the card then you will have o wait until 12 months have passed since the issue of the PR card.When you apply for naturalisation you must ensure that you meet the criteria on the following page:https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen/check-if-you-can-apply Once you have obtained natuarlisation you will receive a certificate of naturalisation. Once you have obtained your certificate you will have to attend a citizenship ceremony and after this you can apply for a passport for you. Your daughter’s situation is easier. If your daughter was born in the UK and her father was also born in the UK before 1983 then your daughter is automatically a UK citizen. This means that you can apply for her passport straight away. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:
