Return of passports after applying for citizenship by naturalisation

Updated :5 October 2016
Please allow at least 4 weeks for your passport to be returned. If you think you'll need your passport soon after you make an application (eg for travel), you should postpone your application until you return.
If you ask for your passport back before your application has finished processing, the application will be put on hold. You must then return the passport to us for processing to be completed.

N:B Please share your time after you submitted your application

Acknowledgement :

Hope it helps

Could anyone who applied for citizenship using the new form (where you have to send original passport) let me know what's your waiting time to receive it back from them.

I'll be sending my application on Friday and wanted to book holidays for March 17 but unsure as to how long it might be till i get my passport back.

Thanks so much and best of luck to those waiting on approval.

I applied October 26, 2016 and got my passport back November 7, 2016. so almost a week even though they say you should wait up to 4 weeks.

I got the same replay on 23rd December from them..I got my second stage letter on 16th November..
Well i will mail them this Friday for an update..
If i were you id be concern for my current visa status..
Did you apply for further visa EU-3 or Self retention depends on ur circumstances..
They would delay on married to EU citizens cases if they think the applicant has no updated visa or didn't submitted any application for further extension..(its just my thoughts)
Hope it make sense!!!

Bro Here is the reply i got.look like i m still in the same place where i was in November 30th.that's so annoying.
please note that your application for naturalisation is being prepared for
submission to the Minister. If further documentation and/or clarification
of any matter related to your application is required from you, we will
write to you requesting it. Otherwise, you will receive a letter in due
course informing you of the Minister’s decision on your application.

So in two month my file didn't move.I also contact my solicitor as she said they are taking longer time for eu family.she will be contact with them in around third week of January. My gnib expires 23rd January

@ J_Karim & viratkohli1

At the beginning of November 2016, they issued me a letter stating that my application has moved to the second stage of processing. As already mentioned, just yesterday, they advised it has gone to the advanced stage.

@ J_Karim, I guess your application is already in the final stage and @ viratkohli1, your application may moved to the advanced stage within a week or so. I would suggest you to get a temporary extension as soon as possible and update them.
