    I recently surrendered my Indian passport after acquiring British citizenship through the VFS Global center in London. For me, the process was straightforward, as I had read all the instructions and guidelines before applying, and gathered all the required documents, which saved me time. I applied for the surrender process online and booked an appointment before visiting the Hounslow office to submit my documents physically and provide my biometric data. The staff there was helpful, and within 10 business days after my appointment, I got my surrender certificate.
