Just wanted to provide an update, sent in the application as per my signature and have the COA so just waiting on the RC now (which should be issued as an A4 sheet).
The application has been done with my wife's current passport which is in her maiden name, so we're looking at when the right time is to get her new passport with her new married name. Would that affect the processing of the application? If so, are we best to leave it and simply wait till I have my RC? My main concern is whether once that is done, I'd then need to apply for an RC again.
To add another curveball into the mix, my passport is getting close to filling up and I may have to renew by the end of the year ; does the RC automatically transfer across or will I need to apply yet again? If so, do people generally find that the 2nd time around (when it's just to transfer to a new passport) it's quicker?
Thanks!
