Naturlisation fees confusion

Post by h200123 » Sun Mar 06, 2016 11:40 am

Hi All,

Could anyone tell me whats the difference between Ist and two? We are a family of 5 including 3 kids all born abroad and all have ILR. What fees do I need to pay for adult and children as per the following new fees?

1- Naturalisation [note 4]
£1,005 to £1,236

2- Nationality registration as a British citizen - adult [note 4]
£913 to £1,121

3- Nationality registration as a British citizen - child [note 5]
£749 to £936

Thanks

The first fee is for adults naturalising, the 2nd fee is for adults who have a life-long entitlement to register as BC, e.g. form T registrations.
For you it's fee no.1 for the adults and fee no.3 for the children...a rather expensive day :(

I believe so. Apart from the children's registration fees of course as minors do not have to attend a ceremony.

That is going to be a very expensive day out. As you are aware, the new fees take effect from 18th March.

£1236 for adult naturalisation and £936 for child registration

Should be the current fees. Date of application is the date of your NCS appointment.

The day the Home Office receives the application. So, the fees on the 18th would be payable.

Also, see a somewhat similar case.
