Because sometimes, citizenship can be based on you parents [and by connection, maternal grandparents].
I don't know why so many people are complaining about this. Either you know [or your parents know], or just write 'not known'. |

| OK, so I'm 19 years old. I've lived in the UK all my life and have never left the country, therefore do not have a passport. I'm trying to apply for British registration, but I understandably don't have any letters to prove that I was here from 0-10. My primary school doesn't even exist anymore. Can anything be done? |

It is something to do with your council, I suppose.
I received my approval letter on Friday, and same day booked the [public] ceremony for the following Monday. |

Dear all,
yesterday me and my wife attended our citizenship cermony(private) in basingstoke council.
Though appt is scheduled @ 10 AM we went a bit early and the polite lady started the process immediately.
I think the whole process was completed in about 20 min and we were given the certificates and we took some snaps.
Good luck for everyone who are waiting for the same. |

I am a little confused at the moment. I know that a few people have posted that they were waiting for their letter of invitation. I got this today, dated 12th October. Should I have got something else? The letter provides the contact details for my local council, a breakdown on the details that will appear on my certificate and on the back some Guidance Notes including the wording of the Oath/ Affirmation of Allegiance and the Pledge.

That's it - contact your council to book the ceremony. |

Thanks, I contacted them yesterday and they told me to ring back Monday, which I will do. I was just surprised as a lot of people seem to get a separate approval letter and then have to wait for the invitation and I just got the invitation straightaway.

As far as I understood, separate letters are issued for postal applications. And single letter for the ones made through NCS. |

That would explain it. I applied through NCS Manchester. I did not want to risk being without a passport for up to 6 months. Thanks again.
