Return BRP within 5 days of becoming BC - what about EU?

Hi all,

The HO site states that one need to return his BRP within 5 days of becoming BC.
What about EEA nationals who have become British? do they also need to return their Document certifying permanent residency?

Thanks

"Date applied for passport"

Looking at the “Naturalisation Timeline” discussions here and there is one line for a date called “Date applied for passports:” Some of you have put a date there even if they are still waiting for the citizenship approval. Can you explain me why? Can one apply for a British passport whilst still app...

Re: Fees as of 6th April 2017

Got it! i didn't understand it that way though as the document that states that the ceremony fees are included (note 4) is also saying that the naturalisation fees are £1282. and shows an uplift from £46. where the legisaltion.gov.uk document (44 pages PDF) breaks down the naturalaisation costs (£12...

Re: Fees as of 6th April 2017

It’s a bit misleading but from what I understand:
Naturalisation = £1202
Ceremony = £80
Total = £1282 (as opposed to £1236 today)
