which NCS

[hellothere19]

Hi all

I live in the London suburbs (Brent) and plan to use the NCS close to where I work, as it is easier for me to get to instead going to my own borough, for which I would need to take at least half day off work.
RBKC (Kensington&Chelsea) is very close to me but I have easy access to Hammersmith & Fulham too.
I know the NCS all do the same job, but does anyone have a good experience with one of the above NCS services?

Also, I read that unless you specify, the ceremony will be in your home borough? When do you have to make this choice, I suppose during the NCS appointment?

thanks

It makes no difference where you submit.

If you want a ceremony somewhere other than your home council, you have to stipulate on the form where it asks the question.

Thanks, I thought so, I just book it where is the most convenient

Think carefully about where you want your ceremony as it is not easy to change after you receive approval.

FYI, I used RBKC NCS for my successful citizenship application, and I have no complaints about their service, even though they're slightly on the expensive side compared to other boroughs if I remember correctly.

PS: Be aware that RBKC have two different town halls and registrar services: Chelsea (where they handle the European passport return service for EEA PR) and Kensington (where they handle NCS), not to be mixed up. I'm mentioning this as I almost accidentally went to Chelsea again for my NCS before I double-checked the location in the email en route to my appointment!
