Did you prefix the CR with "UKN" and entered as reference number or did your letter already had the case reference starting with "UKN" followed by 8 digits ? My letter gave the reference as UKN-UK-12-345678-X. To book the VFS appointment I entered UKN12345678 - i.e. I did not en...

My current work schedule takes me away from home for 3 weeks at a time. I was wondering whether my wife will be able to sign for the letter(s) eg. biometric, approval etc or whether only I can sign for them? She lives at the same address and has same surname but I wasn't sure if only the named addre...

Just shows I should have gotten around to applying earlier. In my case I could have applied any time over the last few years since the law changed. Still, I'm lucky in that I'm in no rush
I applied via form UKM and it was received this Monday (04/04). I'm not worried at all that the fee hasn't yet been taken. However, I was just wondering if anyone can advise if there is any relationship between the fee being taken and the application being processed? i.e. does having the fee taken i...
I'm pretty new to all this but I believe the main question is whether you are a British Citizen by descent or 'otherwise than by descent'. Were you born in the UK?

I haven't had any luck finding mum's passport. I do have her dad's UK birth certificate and her parent's marriage certificate so hopefully those plus a cover letter explaining that I don't have her passport from 40 years ago will suffice.
Sadly, no. My maternal grandparents said it was misplaced some time after she emigrated. She didn't travel overseas again before she died so didn't renew it. As far as I know she only had the one passport she emigrated with.
Hi. You can only send what you have. Your mum's birth certificate and British Registration Certificate should be OK. My mum never had a birth certificate so I just sent her british registration certificate (important document) and a notarised copy of her present British passport. I wrote a cover-le...
Thanks jasonryanw1. The guide says that I should send (amongst others): • Your mother’s full birth certificate; and either • Her certificate of naturalisation or registration as a citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies (or, before 1 January 1949, as a British subject); or • Papers showing her le...
