What are you on about ? it is the Nationality Checking Service ( and not a speedy delivery service) and provides a service for checking your application and submitting it to the home office at a reasonable price - it costs much more to get passports certified externally. You are not forced to use it.K2004 wrote:cool.. you agreed with me then you say its rubbish???
if you check this board you will find people who worries so much about when they can apply for naturalisation, and if they can apply a day before one year complete or day after....same as me, I was counting 12 months day by day, and when i applied, I was a bit disapointed for having to wait an extra day.
as for 35 pounds, it is more expensive than the life in the UK test, i know its worth every penny, but its not logical,its another way of sucking money from immigrants... and beleive me if it was 350 i will still use it...but its not fair..
It is simply a service available at a modest price - you are not forced to use it. I thin £35 is OK as I don't think they are making any money on this - this is simply covering the cost of provision.K2004 wrote:Well done, it seems to me that if people are desparate then they are ready to pay..
Can you explain to me why when you check application in the post office it costs only 4 pounds??? http://www.dvla.gov.uk/drivers/po_check.htm... i know it is for driving license, also you said that we pay 35 pound to cover the cost of special delivery, ,, fine but it wasnt special...
The whole country is opposing the id cards because they dont want to pay for it, no one cares about immigrants they can be charged no problem... if you are rich you get a passport,, if you are poor then wait... why they cant get it right from the begining anyway????
by the way ,, why are you fighting me?
-: it costs merely £5 to swear a declaration in front of a Solicitor.applicants had to swear the oath in front of a Commissioner for Oaths or Notary. I don't know how much that cost, but it could easily exceed £68.
Notarial fees in England and Wales
by Bruce Ritchie
Solicitors should consider whether documents sent for signature in England need to be notarised as it will cost much less to have it signed before a solicitor
The Journal, January 2003, page 9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Society has received a letter from the Notaries Society in England regarding notarial fees in England and Wales. The minimum fee chargeable by a notary even for an affidavit is £50 plus VAT, and solicitors who are corresponding with clients and others resident in England asking them to have a document notarised should consider whether it is necessary to have that done before an English notary or whether it would be sufficient to have the documents signed before a solicitor whose charges will be significantly lower.

-: surely not! In accordance with the law Councils are required to organise them. They don't need to be incentivised at all.the Home Office has to incentivize them to do these ceremonies
Does anyone know if British nationals have to take the Oath as well as the Pledge? The Pledge to the United Kingdom is something understandable, the Oath for someone who's already British is less so.Joseph wrote: Now they are even imposing the ceremonies on British nationals, who are not really required to swear the oath because they already owe allegence to the Queen. I would agree that that's not nice, but it's not really a major deal is it?
The legislation (NIAA 2002, Schedule 1) refers to "...the relevant citizenship oath and pledge specified in Schedule 5... ", which I think settles the question.JAJ wrote:Does anyone know if British nationals have to take the Oath as well as the Pledge? The Pledge to the United Kingdom is something understandable, the Oath for someone who's already British is less so.
Although it's worth observing that British protected persons have always been required to take an Oath of Allegiance.
As far as I understand, British citizens seeking to become naturalised British overseas territories citizens are also required to take a Pledge (not to the UK, but to the relevant territory). Do they need to take the Oath as well in such cases?
