Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

thanks coolrockspart2,

So I can ask the council person to tell us the number on the certificate and apply on the same day and post the certificate with the documents when we get it?

After the ceremony (video call) I was asked to visit the Register Office after a week and I was handed over the Certificate. They again check ID and without verification they wont hand over.
interesting, I was told it will be sent by post and cannot be handed over to me in person.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Question for people who did online ceremony over zoom.
Do you get the certificate by email or does the council sends it via post?
Also, if its by post do you need to wait for it before you apply for Passport?

Cheers
