Re: Supporting Document Return

You did the best you can and were waiting long enough to consider to take action. Did you call the general line? ‭0300 222 0000‬ I’ve found them so far quite helpful. I totally understand that feeling of sending off these important documents and then this. I really hope you get your imports document...

Passport delivery - date changed by TNT

I would like others about their experiences with TNT. On Friday my new passport was sent and it had the delivery date 14 December (today). That has been convenient to me as it’s my day off. However by checking this morning it has changed to the 15th. I’m a bit worried they will keep delaying it to d...

Re: Supporting Document Return

4 weeks for me now and the best the customer services team can do is sending emails asking for an update, Surely the person who was meant to send them back knows if they did so or not and if they haven't they should be tasked with finding them. I called the helpline on Friday they put me through to...

Re: Supporting Document Return

Sorry for confusion, found out to login the pan number with the PEX and no spaces. Could enter my TNT account and my passport is delivered on Monday, but no words about supporting documents on there. You're probably going to be in the same situation as some of us here. I got my passport with TNT on...

Re: Supporting Document Return

Just a quick update, I did live chat with the passport service and the lady told me the documents have been picked up by TNT (they were the ones who brought me the passport as well) and will be delivered this Monday. So might be worth checking on the TNT website HERE using your PEX number and your ...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

However I have been reading here the last days and I’m terribly sad about the ongoing wait and all attempts to get any information and answers and leaving approved applicants waiting. Just an example of my MP getting a response fro...

Be patient. It will come. It usually comes with Royal Mail 2nd Class.
I think you confuse that with the invitation letter.

If you applied through a solicitor does the brown envelope with the invitation for the ceremony go to them or would it be sent to me? Thanks
If you have applied through a solicitor they will send the invitation to them, not to you.

Re: Does Settled Status expire after acquiring British citizenship?

That’s a really good question. While PR holders status will expire after the deadline mentioned, many new dual citizens noticed their EUSS status at the link they receive with EUSS confirming their right to work and live and their picture, is still acitive. Some who naturalised over a year ago for e...

There were five people all together including myself. After swearing an oath/affirmation we were given our certificates. A piece of national anthem was played ( not all of it ) and then we got to take each others pictures posing next to Her Maj lol :D Sounds good! :) @Cullinan Yes, that means “mayb...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Thanks for letting me know and share your cousins experience.
It seems to be in fact very individual how councils handle this, seen quite a few ceremony pictures, but some rather keep it brief.

It is what is is I guess. :)

Sorry, I’m a bit curious about ceremonies...
Is it possible to take a picture? What except for oath/ pledge/ affirmation and certificate are they doing?

Thank you. :D
