Hi adill, Congratulation.

next step is to book your ceremony with local council. After you get your certificate then you will be able to apply for passport. So first things first, call your local council ( if you used NCS) and book your ceremony.

October fee deductions update

Post by jotter » Mon Dec 23, 2013 4:27 pm

Updated October fee deductions table taken from timelines in this forum.

The percentage value represents the number of people who've informed us they've had their fees deducted as a proportion of the total number of people who've informed us of their applications. The percent includes people who've since also had their case decided.

Note that the date or date range refers to when we believe that the HO received the application, not the date it was sent.

Week ending Oct 5th = 100%
Week ending Oct 12th = 100%
Week ending Oct 19th = 96%
Oct 21st = 90%
Oct 22nd = 88%
Oct 23rd = 92%
Oct 24th = 94%
Oct 25th = 36%
Oct 26th = 0%
Week ending Oct 26th = 75%
Oct 28th = 0%
Oct 29th = 25%
Oct 30th-Nov 2nd = 0%
Week ending Nov 2nd = 7%

Table is being maintained here.
