I mean to say for private ceremony I don’t have to pay for that That’s indeed unusual. That's not unusual, I did a 5 min private ceremony, the council did not charge me anything. They could have easily charged in excess of £120 but they didn't. They are more eager to get through the backlog and not...
Hello:
Anyone that has already recived the invitation letter. Could you let us know if you have to sign in when you get it on the post or it is just normal 1st or 2nd class delivery?
I've done my ceremony virtually yesterday but the council found an error in my citizenship certificate and have sent it to the Home Office for correction. They don't know how long the Home Office will take and when I'll get my certificate. Calling the Home Office hasn't helped since no one answers....
Nice ! Won't be surprised if we attend the ceremony on the same date too haha !! Hi AC12, any luck with a ceremony yet? I'm still waiting for my council to call me back to book a ceremony in Hey, yes, got it done on Thursday. I replied to one of your posts on the same day too ! Incredible, congratu...
I've received a letter from my council confirming what they told me on the phone on Monday - it states they've received my naturalization certificate and in order to attend a ceremony, I would need the HO invitation letter. Let's see how long that takes- hopefully before the second wave kicks in ! ...

Hi all, Thought I'd let you all know that my council has received my certificate this morning. They said the HO sends out the certificates to them via special delivery and the invitation letter posted out to me normally follows in 7-10 working days time. Don't ask me why, haha !! Timeline wise, I ap...
Would you happen to know their timeline i.e. Approval date, if approval was via email or did they receive it in the post? Have you seen or heard that someone received invitation from HO please? Yes, my friend just got the invitation and booked the ceremony. You can now expect letters from HO anytime...
Absolutely, I always speak to them on the phone ! They're very helpful and understand what we're going through :) In my experience I've found the information over a call to my council is much more recent and reliable than the standard responses they provided me on email. For example when I emailed a...
So, just got off the phone with the customer service guys at HO, they said they cannot send out ceremony certificates till councils inform them they are ready to conduct ceremonies. I then spoke to the deputy registrar at my council who said they'd started doing private ceremonies on 06/07, they had...
Hi, This is what the HO website states - 6 months after receiving an invitation from the Home Office. "Due to coronavirus (COVID-19), you’ll have 6 months to book your citizenship ceremony after receiving an invitation from the Home Office. Any delays caused by COVID-19 will not affect decision...
Hey ! I think the 3 months (Or 6 months now due to Covid) is based on the date on the citizenship ceremony invitation letter, which we haven't got yet, not on the approval letter. Councils, like any other workplace, need to be 'Covid Secure'. Unless they've met these guidelines, they'd be hesitant i...
Best wishes to you! Not very promising for those who haven't received their certificates yet, looks like it'll be a long wait for some of us. Hi all, I have updates from my council by email. It seems every council making its own decisions. They have booked me for 11th July. My certificate must be se...
Councils, like any other workplace, need to be 'Covid Secure'. Unless they've met these guidelines, they'd be hesitant in restarting ceremonies. Some councils have been proactive in making sure they meet the Covid guidelines, some have been pretty slow, which is why we see some councils restarting t...
