False documents
It is better to explain why you do not have a document than to submit a false document with an application. Your application may be refused and you may be banned from travelling to the UK for 10 years if you use a false document, lie or withhold relevant information. You may also be banned if you have breached immigration laws in the UK. Travellers to the UK who produce a false travel document or passport to the UK immigration authorities for themselves and/or their children are committing an offence. If you are found guilty of this offence, you face up to two years in prison or a fine (or both).
