@tael as someone who just passed the UK citizenship test, it's KeepArse, thank you very much!

@whitequark @tael Congratulations?

I passed the Norwegian one plus the required language tests a few years back.

It was cheaper to apply for Norwegian nationality than it would have been to renounce my British nationality.

Fortunately, just in time the Norwegian government passed a law allowing Norwegian citizens to have more than one nationality.

This saved me the several hundred pounds it would have cost me to renounce my British nationality.

@whitequark @tael Worth remembering the detail that if you have a British passport and other passports issued by other countries the British Passport Authorities insist that the names on all the passports are identical.

There are a couple of exceptions to this rule.

Also worth remembering that UK citizens now have to use their UK passport to enter the UK. (Canada has had a similar rule for the last decade)

So I have to keep my UK passport up to date if I want to travel to the UK.

@the_wub @whitequark @tael I have found that they can at least sometimes be persuaded if the argument is along the lines of "we intend to get the other one changed but there's an elapsed-time condition that hasn't been met yet".

@cjwatson @whitequark @tael The solution in the case that I dealt with was that the name on the non-UK passport contained an accented character.

As UK passports, AFAIK do not use accented characters my argument that the names never could be the same seemed to have been accepted.
