Naturalisation and Passport Pilot Scheme

One more thing.
Do I have to include my Life in the UK test pass certificate letter with AN application form, in requirement it says so. My Life in the UK test certificate has been used already when applied for ILR.

Yes you need to submit it and HO keep it.

You didn't get what i saID..Life in the UK is kept by Home Office when I applied for ILR.

They should have given it back to you as they know it is required for BC. Most ILR applicants get it back, I certainly did.

Tick you met the requirement for ILR then and didn't receive it back. If HO needs more information, they will write to you.

Hi All,

This forum has been incredibly helpful in this long journey to naturalization and couldn't be more excited on my final step, hope everything goes smoothly! I'll be making my joint Naturalisation and Passport application at NCS Barking and Dagenham council on 2nd December, I have some questions which most likely are answered but this is a long thread, it's hard to find the specific answers, so please bear with me for that.

1. Do I not need any counter signatory to sign my application and photograph for the section 10 of Passport form? as this is a combined application?

2. How many total photographs I need? and how many of them need to have my name and date of birth on the back of them?

3. Fees for the Naturalisation will be deducted from the info in Payment slip, what about the passport fees, is it taken from that also? else how do I need to pay that fees?

Hi

I would like to share my JCAP application experience at the local council and would like to take your feedback or similar experience information:

I have made application JCAP based upon
- Tier 1 (5 years)
- ILR (couple of years)


Though I was prepared with all documents required (based upon info collected from this forum and AN booklet and guide)

Only following documents were accepted and sent with my JCAP application

- Passports (covering all of UK visas)
- BRP
- LIUK certificate
- UK Degree certificate
- Photographs


The JCAP lady Refused to send following with application:
- P60, P45 or tax papers (I have had couple of years as self employed + jobs in rest)
- Utility bills

Refused by stating that
- They are trained by UKBA
- No need to clutter application by sending lot of documents and her aim was to make application short and simple

I would like to ask has anyone had similar experience from local council for JCAP application?

If yes then
- Please provide some further details about what happen after submission with your application (ie do you get letter requesting further document submission or queries related with your application and other related information) or It was fine and nothing *further* requested from you and you had successful stress-free Nationality/Passport receipt!

If no then
- Please share your experience mentioning what documents asked for and date/place of submission

Kind regards
Many thanks

I applied via JCAP in September and NCS didn't take my P60s.
I didn't insist though.

3 days ago I received a letter from Home Office saying they now need my P60s covering a specific period in 2011 and my old expired passport. No idea why they need my old passport, NCS did photocopy all pages of it.

No problem, I've sent everything they asked, just a bit annoying that this step could've been avoided if NCS were trained to take all relevant documents in the first place.

Hi All

I will be applying tomorrow via Wandsworth NCS. There is a following info on their website

http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/info/20051 ... rvice_jcap

Applicants should complete sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (if applicable) and 9 of the passport application form. They do not need to complete section 10 nor have the 2 photographs certified. Details of referees will be collected as part of the citizenship application.

Now I am wondering if I need any countersignatory for my passport form as well ?

Any info appreciated!

Soooo I ve been to my appointment early today. I d like to share my experience for others in the forum.
First of all, my query regarding countersignatory,
- You dont need countersignatory in the passport application form. All process was quick and painless.
- I tied to be smart and wanted to be at NCS one day earlier than my 1 year period of ILR. I though , HO will receive it tomorrow anyway and It will be exactly 1 year.. Well I was wrong , gentlemen at the council told me that "1 year" should be the date of post not the receiving date of HO. So they will send it tomorrow not today.

Well the form or guidance notes is very clear on this point. If applying through NCS, date of your appointment is the application date. Applying by post, it is the date HO receives it.

Morning!

Can someone clarify please. JCAP appointment.

Once I get my naturalisation certificate, do I need to book the ceremony with council myself or this will be done for me and the council will inform me of the date of the ceremony?

I have been reading around and everyone skips this part and discusses other topics..

Casa - Thank you for prompt and clear answer!
