I used my local NCS yesterday and think that it is a great service. I wish that they could provide this service for a first passport application. I don't like the idea of being without the original citizenship certificate and my passport.

Any input would be grateful. I am just trying to make sure that my application form is filled out correctly. Thanks.

Hi, I am filling in the citizenship application forms and I have a few questions. 1.6. Other Names - if my Name is John and I have no second name do I just put John or repeat my surname as well. 1.17. Address for last 5 years - If the address I have stayed at that I put as my current address in 1.16...

I have a few questions regarding using the National Checking Service. 1. How far in advance can you book an appointment? I am eligible to apply for citizenship from 14 January, may I book now? 2. Is there a payment form you have to fill in for the NCS? Or just pay with a debit card in the office whe...

That was never my intention.

You have redirected me to this post and then quoted what I asked but provided no answer.

Hi, I would like to clarify 2 things regarding the application: 1. The referee can only sign up to a month before submission of the application (I have read this and also read a 6 month window period, just want clarity on this). 2. If I cannot get an appointment with the NCS is it possible to post c...

No, but I like to dot the I's and cross the T's.

Hi,

I have read lots of posts but there is no answer to this question: Do the referees have to sign the back of the photo or just the form. Thanks

I don't want to blame anyone and if it is unsuccessful all that would happen is they ask me for another referee and there is a delay. What I am trying to establish, through trying to tap into the collective wisdom of the board, is the plausibility of my friend acting as my referee as I so outlined b...

Yes but I saw her once n January 2008. I just want clarity on the question I asked.

The list is not exhaustive and that is why I wanted clarification. When I arrived in the UK I registered with a doctor's surgery but only went for a general checkup that was needed in order to register with them in the first place, this appointment was with a nurse. Other than that I have had no use...

Hi, I am struggling to find a professional referee. One of my friends, whom I have known since I arrived here in November 2007, works for Marie Curie charity to do with Cancer. He works in the accounts department although not certified as an accountant (he has worked in the accounting field most of ...

Thank you, much appreciated.

Hi, I have 2 questions regarding the citizenship application form both having to do with questions 3.1-3.5 In question 3.5 it asks for the address of tax office or tax office reference, but I pay through the self assessment online portal, what should I provide here? Secondly It asks for the latest s...

My sister, who is now living in the UK (on an ancestral visa), was issued a 6 month schengen visa previously - which is still valid. The country that issued it was Spain, and she has visited there on this visa previously. Is she now allowed to use it for any EU country she wishes and not necessarily...

But I submitted my degree certificates in 2007 when I made the application to live in the UK in the first place (UK Ancestry route), so it must be accepted., surely?

See, http://ecctis.co.uk/naric/Individuals/H ... Apply.aspx

What is this link to? Does not seem to answer my question at all.

So I will just submit my degree certificates along with the Life in UK certificate and that should suffice?

English is one of our official national languages.

So this new language requirement is for everyone irrespective of when they passed their Life in UK test? I got ILR in January this year will be applying for citizenship January next year. Did my degrees in English in South Africa, must I now include degree certificates in application?

Sorry to hi-jack this thread. But if I am applying for citizenship, at the end of year, and got ILR through UK Ancestry and am self employed, do I also have to submit those documents, or does it only apply to people applying for citizenship solely on being self employed. Thanks

Thanks
