Passport return and questions after submission - British Citizenship application

Post by OLIOLIOLIOLI » Tue Jan 04, 2022 11:20 am

Good day all,

I`m in the process of applying for British Citizenship online.

I have a few questions regarding what happens after I`ve submitted my citizenship application. I`ve not done it yet, it`s ready, I just need to pay.

1) Do I need to send away my passport at any point, if yes, how long does it normally take to receive it back again?
2) Once I`ve paid for the application, do I have to upload my documents within a certain time frame?
3) Do I need to attend the biometrics appointment within a specific time frame after I`ve paid for the application?

The reasons for all these questions, I`ve got a small window of opportunity where I can apply this year, however I may need to travel back to my country urgently without much notice.

Thank you for reading my post :D

1. No. All documents are uploaded digitally. Nothing is sent to UKVI anymore.

2. Yes,before your biometric appointment

3. Yes, usually within 45 days.
