I called my council today and they confirmed that they have received my certificate. They will call me next week to arrange the ceremony. I still have not received the invitation though.

Are virtual ceremonies free or we have to pay for that service?

Westminster council emailed me this morning with this . " Yes we received our first batch yesterday. If you are in it you will get an invitation from the Home Office at the same time." So the home office are finally sending the certificates to councils now, we should get ours shortly posta...

When I contacted my council (Westminster), I was informed that they have not received any certificates since March 2020. They said they will start offering free private ceremonies initially due to social distancing. They also said they are hoping to start the ceremonies in July 2020.

Once more regarding “misleading information”. I would say make a screenshot about the time and number you called. It’s their number and their employees. I called the Home Office about information and not a third party. If they cannot answer general questions or train their stuff isn’t my concern. T...

Thank you very much everybody. For those who’ve asked: I’ve been a student and self-sufficient since I arrived in the UK in 2012. I submitted the application on 5 Feb and gave fingerprints a week later.
