Thanks for quick reply.keerthi wrote:After Approval...
Ceremony - Based on your council schedule, it depends, if they are busy, it may take more than 4 weeks, unless you are ok to shell out £100 + for private ceremony...
Passport - There is no in person appointment - You need apply through Post office or through post - better ready for a long wait
You can get the physical form from the post office or you can request online to be delivered to your address, you can apply online, but it has its own issues, please go through the sticky for online applicationsIndiMarshall wrote:Thanks for quick reply.keerthi wrote:After Approval...

Two questions
1) Once I receive a ceremony date in my local council. Is it possible to change to a nearest possible date elsewhere with in the county I live in ? Any idea - You can change, but it will take time as they need to send the certificate to the respective council
2) Can you please give me a link for passport application where I can print it for filling. ?
You mentioned in your first question that :IndiMarshall wrote:1) Once I receive a ceremony date in my local council. Is it possible to change to a nearest possible date elsewhere with in the county I live in ? Any idea - if you choose a different council, your certificate will be sent back to HO and then resent to the council you want to change to. This process can take weeks.
2) Can you please give me a link for passport application where I can print it for filling. ? https://www.gov.uk/apply-first-adult-passport/overview
What do you mean by this? What application do you want to make??as I wouldn't want any delays as I have to apply for my wife immediately.
Thanks this information helps a lot & this is what I am looking for.shahid2000 wrote:The quickest options for you would be:
1. Arrange a private ceremony with the same council you get the invite for. You can have the ceremony the very next day and will cost around £80. For a public ceremony you will probably have to wait for a couple of weeks unless you are very very lucky.
2. Pick up a passport application form and have it filled and ready before your ceremony. Put all dates as your ceremony date. This way you can send your passport application on the same day you have your ceremony and receive your certificate.
I would strongly advise you to make a copy of your certificate before you send it off.
Changing the council will delay the process by a couple of weeks so it would be better if you travel a couple of hours instead of wasting a number weeks.

If you don't mind can you explain what do you mean by
a) (Shahid)'Put all dates as your ceremony date' ...
You have to sign and put a date on the form in declaration. Also you will need referees who will have to sign and put a date. Make sure that these dates are not before the date of your ceremony.
(Indimarshall ) I think you mean .. all the dates on passport applicaiton should be mentioned as Ceremony date .. All ?? Are there no other date columns for anything else ?
b)(shahid) I would strongly advise you to make a copy of your certificate before you send it off.
??
Just keep a photocopy of your certificate with you for reference when you send it off with your passport application.
Thanks in advance..
Yes, I wrote the red bit. You can apply for your wife through NCS as soon as you receive your certificate. You don't have to wait for the passport, you only need your naturalisation certificate and she needs to meet all the requirements to apply as spouse of BC.IndiMarshall wrote:I didnt write the one in Red font.. did u ?CR001 wrote:You mentioned in your first question that :IndiMarshall wrote:1) Once I receive a ceremony date in my local council.

I heard that we can choose an earlier date in another council instead of waiting but what you say can delay the application. I wasnt aware of this.
I am talking abt the citizenship applicaiton for my partner once I receive mine.
