My friend received his certificate with his name misspelt. He sent it back and got it back correctly by 10 days.

Now, my another friend received her approval letter and already found her name was misspelt. Here ceremony is in early Dec. I will see how long it takes to get her certificate corrected.

[quote="ppron747"][quote="voipuk"] This is realy annoying to me. Any suggestion? Would drop my case and ask the certificate back a good idea? Advices pls.......[/quote] A quick question: Does your naturalisation certificate specify your town of birth, or does it just give the (wr...

If you ring them up now, the it tells you the average waiting time is 6 months.

i finally managed to speak to a kind lady in IND today and explained the error I mentioned. She said it should not show Taiwan, China together and obviously it was an error. They will correct it and send me back. She also said there was a long cue and my case would take 4-6 weeks to be done.

The problem of mine is i am not sure HO did this to me on purpose or by error. I am from Taiwan. Its full country name is REPUBLIC OF CHINA. But to most of countries in the world including UK, the full country name doesn't exist at all. However, HO used " CHINA , PEOPLES REPUBLIC OF CHINA"...

i have been thinking about the issue of correction of certificate. My name date of birth, and place of birth are correct. Only the country of birth isn't 100% correct which maybe acceptable if this is not going to show on the UK passport. I checked the UK passport of my son, and only place of birth ...

I would recommend to approach the local MP immediately and his letter to the HO would do the magic!!!!!!!! It did for me. Well, i think i will wait for 7-10 working days and may contact MP thereafter if no news from HO. By the way, is the certificate of naturalisation the only document to prove mys...

Does anyone experience the same situation here? Please advise your case!

Dear all, I received my natualisation certificate on 15th Nov but found the detail of country of birth was incorrect. I posted it back to Liverpoor at the same day. I was expecting to receive a new one in a few days. However, I phoned them up today and was told it would take 6- 8 WEEKS to process. I...
