3. If you apply using the Nationality Checking Service, then you will bring your application (and any supporting documents) to a local authority's registry office. That local authority will take certified copies of the relevant pages of your passport and send those copies to the Home Office with your application form. You are free to travel whilst your application is pending, but you should not travel within five days of the submission of your application to ensure that you are physically present in the UK at the moment that the Home Office receives your application.
4. The current application fee charged by the Home Office is £720. If you apply using the Nationality Checking Service, then you will have to pay an extra fee to the local authority. I think that local authorities may charge different fees depending on when you submit it; Islington Council charged me £45 for a Friday afternoon appointment.
Please note that submitting your application via the Nationality Checking Service is not a means of expediting your application. Rather, it is merely a means of retaining possession of your passport whilst your application is pending. It also comes with the added benefit of having your application checked by an employee of the local authority to make sure that there are not any obvious errors.
