Do I have to include my second passport in my UK Visa application?
The US allows it's citizens to have a second passport if your primary passport is held up in a visa application. I have accumulated travel on my second passport but I am wondering if I have to include that travel in my travel history (and the passport) when submitting an application for my primary passport?
Best Answer
If the application form asks for your travel history, it means your international travel history, not where the passport you happen to apply with has been. Leaving things out counts as lying on a visa application -- which spells doom not only for that application but for your interactions with UK visa and immigration authorities for a long, long time afterwards.
You can't be expected to submit both passports with the visa application, though; that would defeat the purpose of having an additional passport. But it's probably a good idea to explain in your application that you have a second passport, to avoid confusion arising from the fact that the travel history you're describing should have resulted in more stamps than they can see in the passport you submit.
