British Citizenship - New Online Application

Hello Shakeerah

I am about to use this service to apply now, but I am worried that I will not receive my current passport and BRP card back as I have a holiday planned in 2 months.

Did you receive your documents in 15 days?

Thanks,

Use NDRS service, complete the online form. Take all the documents to your council. they will take the photocopies and will return your original document. And make you sure you get the appointment in advance because you need to send your document within 10 days of your application.

Thanks a lot,

My online application is all ready apart from the fee payment.

I am planning to secure an NDRS appointment first and then make the payment online a day before my NDRS appointment.

Do you think this is the safe plan?

Thanks,
N Guntu

Yes this plan is the safest and right way to do it.

Am submitting payment online on same day, council and also biometrics on same day.

I decided to fill the online application form and thought it was considerably easier to use than the paper form until I stumbled upon "select country of birth" and the drop-down menu showed both Czech Republic and Czechoslovakia. I was born pre 1993 so technically the latter is correct but I've never seen that option available and consequently, I used CZ Rep. even when I filled forms manually.

It seems like I should select Czechoslovakia but no other paperwork (except birth certificate) will match. Do you think this will cause problems with HO?

I think best to choose Chechoslovakia if they give this option there but explain the situation at the end of your application just as you explained here. There is some box for any other comments at the end.

What does it say in your Czech Rep passport?

CZ passports have "place of birth" which is usually a city or town a person was born in.

The options for the country of birth are rather not well thought-through for Czechs, I can select CZ rep or Czechoslovakia for me but only CZ rep for my parents in the online application form.

There is an option for anonymous feedback regarding the new online application form. Maybe highlight this to them now

Can some one explain that pls

I have ILR and looking to fill AN for BC.

Do I need to fill another form for british passport if so which one is that. While searching this forum it looks like this can be done under one application.

In that case which application is that which covers the whole process BC + passport.

Do I need to fill in this online form as well and send to HO as a seperate copy. I browse through it and it seems that we can print and send that form also.

So how many forms we need to fill in and send for same application BC + passport.

many thanks

You cannot use the online form if you want to apply for citizenship and passport at the same time which can also only be done through NCS. You will need to complete thr paper form AN and the passport form to do this.

This is confusing. You cannot or you can? my local council website states:

"With immediate effect any NCS appointments booked from 22 January 2018 are not eligible to apply for a British Passport using the Joint Citizenship and Passport Service (JCAP). If you wish to use the Joint Citizenship and Passport (JCAP) Service, you should NOT make an NCS appointment but apply for Citizenship online and make an appointment with us for the Nationality Document Return Service (NDRS) within 10 working days of applying online. NDRS is available in Hillingdon from 30 January 2018, see our website after this date for information and how to make an appointment."

the .gov site also adds to confusion, in the apply online section https://visas-immigration.service.gov.u ... onality-an,

• Nationality document return service states: "If you want to make a joint citizenship and passport application, you must also use this online service."

• Nationality checking service stats: If you want to make a joint citizenship and passport application, then you must apply through the nationality checking service.

Please advise how can we make both nationality and passport applications together, without sending the original documents?
Thanks

Clearly then using the online form and NDRS service as the quote you have stated says.

Hello,

I am in the process of filling the online form for naturalisation and I am stuck with the following

Have you lived at the current address for the last 5 years)
Answer: No

Please provide previous address
Date from - ?
Date to- ?

It does not ask me from what date I am living at my current address. which is from 2014
So do I just put in the previous address details there and presume they then calculate date to for the current address..

Please can somebody help me with this question

I am submitting my online application tomorrow and got confused about the partner part, I am single but have children with my ex but we were never married. What do I say about the part where it asked if you’ve been married or had children with someone other than the person you are applying with. I am making a single application, what doni reply to that

If you are single and not in a relationship/marriage, then you are not applying 'WITH' anyone.

Thanks but do I need to fill in the name of my children’s father?

If he is NOT your CURRENT partner, then no.

Please do you know what documents HO requires apart from the obvious, do they need p60s and payslips? I am a Nigerian

Hello again
Please, I am still confused about this question about previous relationships of mine the question is “have you been married or in a civil partnership before or had children with anyone other than the partner you are applying to remain with in the uk”

I have never been married but I have had children and I am applying on my own

You are overthinking it. If you were NOT married, you are SINGLE for the purpose of your application.

Thanks. I’ve submitted the online application and will go to the council to send documents on Thursday. Fingers crossed and I’ll update soon.
Thank you for the help

By the way, any idea of what documents they need for proof of residency pls

After you have completed the application online, it will tell you a list of documents to submit.

I got that but just want to know what kind of proof are they asking for as a proof of living in UK. They will have my passport

Please help me make this decision
I’ve submitted my online application and have an appointment to go to the council to check documents and sent but I am now wondering if it would be quicker to just post it tomorrow myself tomorrow. Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Hi I have a question about the referee form, I have previously filled the paper form (2017 version), had my referees filled it up and sign this January, however I haven’t been able to send it for other reasons, anways, would it be possible to apply online but when going to the NCS appointment bring the previously filled section of the referees? how much does it differ from the regular paper one? I really don’t want to bother my referees again to have them refill another form.
