Hi there, My italian driving licence is expired and I am considering to renew it. I have Italian and British citizenship and I have been living in England for 8 years, hence the need for a local driving licence as well. Anyway I still want to be able to drive in Europe before the next renewal. Shoul...

-What about the certificate of naturalisation?

Should it be the original or a copy?

- Is it compulsory the signature of a countersignatory?
I do not know anyone that can help

Many thanks.

That makes sense.

But can I send them the Italian ID instead of the Italian electronic passport?
(If I travel I prefer to use my passport although ID is valid as well)

What if I send them my Italian ID instead of my Italian electronic passport? Would that work?

Many thanks.

Can I go through NCS or alternative service to certify authenticity of my Italian passport? When I applied for naturalisation I went through NCS but I had no idea I could request a passport as well. I remember was quite expensive. I heard that I do need to make sure I was present 5 years ago or some...

Hi there, I live in London and I have been naturalised few days ago, therefore now I have dual citizenship British/Italian. I'd like to apply for a British passport and on the online form it's written that: "Applying from the UK - you must send us the original non-British passport and provide t...

Great news, I have been granted citizenship :) Eligibility criteria: 5 years residence (EEA PR) + 1 year Language criteria met: Trinity College B1 Nationality: Italian Method of application: NCS Date of application: 16/12/2016 Payment method: Debit Date of receipt by HO/UKVI: 16/12/2016 Date of ackn...

The joint scheme is ONLY offered for applications submitted through NCS.

Hi there,

Thanks for your reply.

I did it through NCS, no idea I could apply for passport at the same time lol

Hi guys, quick questions: They sent my biometrics through post office 2 weeks ago for naturalisation , should I expect a proof of receipt from HO (Email or letter) or I need just to wait? I saw in the timelines that many of you applied for naturalisation and passport at the same time. How does that ...

Is Not the PR card actual proof of residence in U.K.?

You also need proof of residence in UK.
And, if a worker, proof of fulfilling tax/NI obligations.

Can I use p45 and job contracts?

What evidence would you suggest that I bring with me?

All as per AN guidance.

Thanks

The appointment is tomorrow... please help!

Hi guys, I am Italian and I have an appointment to my local NCS for naturalisation. I am wondering what I need to bring to support my application. What I have is: My passport that was issued on June 2012, can I use it or does it need to cover 5 years? My Italian Identity card that I renewed in Decem...

Yeah I need to do the same guys, I phoned HO and they cannot provide that info via phone. Do you reckon NCS can confirm the actual date with HO? I read that it is not compulsory for them, please advise 'cause NCS is the best shortcut. It will take ages with the SAR form. Really depends on the NCS t...

Hi guys, I was filling the SAR form (I need to find out when I have acquired PR) and it is written that I need to enclose a copy of a document or photo and that has to be certified. Can I just pop in my local bank and ask someone to do so? Also I read it might take more than 4 months sometimes to ge...

Anyone? :/

In the booklet enclosed is written that If I change passport or travel document I have to renew the PR card as well (I applied with an Italian identity card that expires in 10 years so I guess that implies it will be valid in 10 years time, or not?) Anyway online I cannot find if the PR card has val...

Thanks for the answers.

Also out of curiosity:

My PR card has an issued date (and no expiration)

Will it be valid for 10 years?

Or is the expiration date linked to the one of the document provided for the application? (In my case I applied for PR card with an Identity card)

Many thanks

Ok but any idea (when it comes to Naturalisation) if the Grade 5 of Trinity college expires or not if you have a valid PR card?
Many thanks!

I received my Grade 5 certificate from Trinity College (issued on September 1st 2015) I might need to apply (not sure at the moment) for Naturalisation in 1 year, therefore the 12th of September 2017 (Because my Permanent Residence Card was issued 12 September 2016), does that imply that I need to r...

Also: I received my Grade 5 certificate from Trinity College (issued on September 1st 2015) If in that worst case scenario I need to apply for Naturalisation after 1 year, therefore the 12th of September 2017 (Because my Permanent Residence Card was issued 12 September 2016), does that imply that I ...

Noajthan thanks again fory your useful tips. I need help on this: I just spoke on the phone with 2 different advisors from Home Office. What they said is that they always suggest to wait 12 months from the date I have received the actual permanent residence card, and that soon that might be (possibl...

Sorry guys! Yeah I will skip the question 1.3. If they revised my case that means I should be fine by providing the actual permanent residence card (or it will not make any sense they revised the decision and send the card in the first place). I applied for EEA PR with evidence from 2009 to Februry ...
