Thanks very much. I applied at Lewisham, don't think I got something similar. Cheersgregzzz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:57 pmYou should have received a set of instructions when you booked your appointment.
Here is the set of instruction from the Norfolk Council (I didn't apply there but I got the same instructions from my council):

1. You do not need your grand parents' details.Driver27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:49 pmHi
I have my NCS appointment tomorrow for the joint citizenship and passport application. I have a few question that I hope you don't mind answering
On the passport application do I need to give my grandparents details if my parents (and grandparents) weren't born in the UK. I don't actually know any of the details of one of my grandparents.
Where/how do I pay for the passport application. I don't see any section of the application form for payment. Is it something I can do at the appointment?
Finally, I'm assuming counter signing the passport application isn't necessary if I have the referees on the Naturalisation application.
Thanks very much in advance.
Thanks very much for the response. I have filled everything in now. Hopefully everything goes well tomorrow.bruteforce wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 5:59 pm1. You do not need your grand parents' details.Driver27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 24, 2017 3:49 pmHi

2. There is a payment slip on last page of the booklet that you get with passport form. If you don't have that, NCS people will provide you with one to fill in.
3. No counter sign(s) required on passport form. They will obtain the references as part of your citizenship application.
Not required if applying using JCAP.
Correct1. I trust that address changes are to be reported through - https://visa-address-update.service.gov.uk/
You should advise shortly before or once you have moved. Make sure you have mail redirection in place too as the update by HO can take a couple of weeks.2. I intend to move on the 11th of November, how soon should I do the address update. Going through the different forms, I don't see anywhere where it asks when I will be moving!
Should be fine.3. When filling the address change form, should I include my wife in the dependent section. My initial feeling was I shouldn't as she wasn't included in this application.
4. Is it possible to change the preferred location for the citizenship ceremony.
I'm not sure how it works with every council, but my council offered a few dates when I called to book my ceremony and I chose the one that worked best for me. That council didn't do private ceremonies, but some do. If yours does, it may offer more flexibility in terms of dates and times. I called before I had even received my approval to find out more about their ceremonies. The person I spoke to was happy to tell me about frequency, length of ceremonies, likely waiting time between booking and ceremony date, etc.
Excellent suggestion, @ess212 ,as I found out today while making the same general inquiry at my council that they only hold public ceremonies every other month. The next one is next week (that one is solidly booked) and then after that it is in January 2018. Fortunately (or perhaps by design) they do offer private ceremonies at £100. Now, how clever is that?? £££ Still, well worth the call because it appears that each council does their own thing. Best to know ahead of time!ess212 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 08, 2017 10:32 pmI'm not sure how it works with every council, but my council offered a few dates when I called to book my ceremony and I chose the one that worked best for me.

Perhaps you could call your council to get an idea about what to expect.
Best of luck.
