Hello. Just a couple of questions. Referee who signs the passport form, is professional and British but he doesn't have British Passport as he never needed one. Does the referee defo needs to have British passport or can he leave the passport number box blank ? Second question is do I need to send ...

My application was handled very quickly. I filled and mailed the form myself since I read the trouble others had applying online and the unknowledgeable check and send staff. Just follow the instructions on the application form. Got the interview letter about a week after. The interview was as expec...

Passport for: Adult (Naturalised Citizen) Application Type: New Method of application: Check & Send Date of application: March 25, 2015 Date application received by IPS: March 27, 2015 (I phoned them today April 1st to check if they received it). Date of return of documents: April 1, 2015 Date ...

After reading so many posts about the misguided info by the Post office staff... I'm definitely going to apply without check and send and save £10 for curry dinner.

Guys, I am furious. I asked them to send back my passport and the nat.certificate with DX secure however they did not take the money for it I was just slightly worried as I thought they would deduct it later. Today we received the post and they sent it back Royal Mail second class. I am furious. Ha...

I've read through many pages of comments but I'll like to get an idea as what what is now considered the best way to apply for a British passport in 2015? Is sending direct the best way assuming you can follow the application instructions well? 1) Direct - Not many people send direct...is it because...

I did reread it a few times already and its not getting any clearer. From my understanding, when one person renews a passport, their previous expired passports would have their corners cut off. That's is why all my expired passports are deemed cancelled already. And so I only have one current passp...

If you are naturalised, I thought I read somewhere that HO also wants to see the passport I first entered UK with? But when reading the guide and form, it only says they want the uncancelled passport which is just my current passport that doesn't have my 1st UK entry stamp? A cancelled and an expir...

Hope its not you. if someone has doubt abt anything better to get it cleared. But some stupid trolls dont understand. So keep ur dirty mule shut. And ...

I have been wondering why the HO wouldn't add a couple of pounds to the fees and use First Class postage instead of the painfully slow Second Class. It's quite important to us and I'm sure everyone would be very happy to pay the extra £2 or so rather than waiting for an extra week for the yellow en...

Hi, I am new to this forum. I want to know your feedback regards the NCS, I am about to apply for the citizenship for my husband but not sure if to apply directly or go through NCS. Only reason why we dont want apply directly is that we dont want to handover his passport as we have holiday planned ...

Its quite ironic that those that are helping others by posting their timelines are being called trolls by certain individuals. It has even resulted in one of poster feeling the need to post his personal info to proof himself. I'm sure many others that posted their timelines recently can also supply...

Book ceremony date after receiving the approval letter... I see many have their date of the ceremony very quickly after receiving the approval letter. On my letter it says that I can only contact them if no one contacts me after a certain number of weeks. How are you guys booking your ceremony dates...

Thanks bromleysouthbs. My country of origin allows dual citizenship and my passport remains valid. My query is about coming back to the UK. I normally enter the UK with my passport and show my permanent resident card. Can I still do that and apply for a British passport then or does the Home Office...

Hi everyone, I have noticed that so many applicant got there citizenship approved within 2-3weeks which seems pretty much impossible especially that nearly all of them are newly registered on this site. Why would anyone register here a month after their application has been sent just to inform othe...

I am not travelling outside uk next 6 months. Do i need NCS???? Pls i need ur advise. Alot of people on here pay the extra...

Sorry to read that some of you have applied since 2014 and have yet to receive any news. For info, I satisfy all their criteria and have nothing in the application that they need to check so it was a quick approval. Good luck to the rest of you. Application Timeline Eligibility criteria: 10 years Nu...
