The query was because in AN application paper form its mentioned Please write in Block capital letter using black ink.
Writing in capitals and typing in capitals are different. A whole document of typed font with so much capitals would likely be tiring to read.
The AN Guide says "You must ensure that your name, date of birth, and the place and country where you were born are clearly written in BLOCK LETTERS, in black ink. These details will be shown on your certificate."CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 8:23 amWriting in capitals and typing in capitals are different.

Does it really matter when the form is electronic now and the data will be uploaded digitally?Totara94 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2018 9:59 amThe AN Guide says "You must ensure that your name, date of birth, and the place and country where you were born are clearly written in BLOCK LETTERS, in black ink.

When I filled in the online form, it will let you write your name and city in BLOCK LETTERS, but country is a dropdown and automatically reverts to lower case. Date is numeric and converts into lower case.
Many thanks ..I read the link and lot much clear..thanks againplabo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 6:45 pmRead here:samkumar2018 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 4:28 pmDear members,
I am really indebted to thank in advance for your replies.
My daughter born on July 2017 and I got my ILR on Sep 2017 and applying for citizenship registration as well as passport. Planned to do via NCS.
I have completed the MN1 ( 2018 version) paper form and got the reference from my local GP doctor ( who I know for some years) and other from my neighbour . I have also completed the Passport application paper form and got the countersignature from the same GP doctor.
But today when I was browsing the NCS Hounslow website , I came to know this message.
From Tuesday 30 January 2018, we cannot accept bookings for NCS appointments in conjunction with British Passport using the Joint Citizenship and Passport Service (JCAP). The Joint Citizenship and Passport Service will be available to online applications only.
If you wish to use the Joint Citizenship and Passport Service, please submit your naturalization application online and make an appointment with us for the Nationality Document Return Service (NDRS) within 10 working days of submitting your form online. The NDRS service will be available from 30 January 2018. Further information will be added to our website in due course
I am literally confused now..
- do I need to fill online now really?( is joint application online is exempted for new borns etc)
- How do I have to take references..( can I use my paper references I already got from GP and neighbour)
-Itz been 7 months my daughter born and mot applied any dependent ILR or passport..so he is not holding any now...so what I need to mention in the online application
- How I should do the biometrics of my 7 moths old baby
- I am not sure if my GP and neighbour gonna do references again for us in the new online formats etc:(
- Do I need to fill online application for passport as well or still I need to use paper form and submit to NCS?
-At what point of time I need to take appointment in NCS..
CR001 or somebody's valuable guidance is highly thankful please
Sam

I have almost filled the online application of BC MN1 for my 7 months old child
I have two questions though , great somebody can clarify:
1. one of the mandatory document list ( tick box) says:
If Miss X has a passport submit it , if does not have, then you must provide another officially issued identity document. This could an official travel document or national identity card..
My baby doesn't have either .. we have registered her birth and have the birth certificate from the council other than that we dont have any ..
wondering what to give ..if not will it impact the application
2. In the final declaration form , it says the follwing
I confirm that: (Required)
I am the applicant
I am a representative of the applicant and have been authorised to act on their behalf and have discussed and confirmed the contents of this application with them
As I am filling for my baby, do i need to select option 2 ?
thanks a lot
Sam
No, take original with you and council will copy and return back original.

Tick option 1, option 2 is for lawyer etc acting on your behalf.
Many thanks for your valueable information , i do have the same case but if i was filling the form now i would enter the actuall issue date and then add the copy of decesion letter and also add in my own words where possible about the date of acquisition. Hope thats helpsnachfee wrote: ↑Mon Feb 05, 2018 12:10 pmHello there!
I have something to share about this Online application and a question if anyone would be so kind to answer for me please!
I have check the gov.uk website that lists all councils offering the new National document return service and my council is not listed. This was implemented recently and my local council hasnt officialy confirmed they are starting to accept this new method.
I have called today and they could give a provisional appointment as they are getting their heads around it but very super helpful. I would suggest anyone wanting to go through the online service (in order to do the passport in conjuction) to call their local council to check if they are offering any appointments now even though they are not currently listed on the website: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... outhampton
Also I got my head around it a bit
Book your appointment with your council. You have 10 working days to go to your council from the date you submitted your application. Therefore, it would be better to book your appointment and then 10 days or less before, fill your application.
You apply online and get your referees originals (with photos)
Go to appointment with council to certify your copies (keep documents)
Apply on the same day, for your British passport. Registrars have usually passport forms for you to fill
You need in total 3 photos (passports and application - referees section)
Send!
I think it's a good method. It cuts paperwork and possibly makes it more efficient.
QUESTION:
Online application asks for "date of issue" of your residence card. I got my letter, which came with the Residence card with different date:
'When did I acquire my permanent residence"
On the online form (Im not sure if there is another place to add this information)
Do I answer there my acquisition date OR issue date?
Many thanks in advance.
Up to My understanding and on coucil website i found this

Thank you for your answer!
I have called HO and said I should write the "acquisition date" but I will probably call the council that was doing the previous service and see if they may know. Its a bit difficult to understand... I am not sure if it matters at the end what date you add on this bit as it is always the acquisition date that matters. Im just worried that if I had the actual issue date which is 24/10/2017 they may immediately stop reading my application when my acquisition date is 14/11/2014!
I might still just write my acquisition date.
I emailed them and they still hven't gotten back to me.

exactly 1 month from application date to date of approval. this includes requesting of additional information which was proof of address. this added 4 days . otherwise the whole process would have taken 3 weeks and a bit.
Good luck everyone else who is waiting.
You are Non EU right?
Which document did you send it for that?
Was proof of adress requested on the final documents check list or you have changed address within last 5 yrs or b/w ILR approval and naturalisation?
Also did you use NCS for this or sent in your original documents in the post?
