Yes, thanks, I just did that and enclosed another special delivery envelope for certificate... Fingers crossed it will arrive next week....... The letter was sounding quite definite: if I don't respond within 7 days my surname will be spelt the way they spelled it, which is with an apostrophe within it... I had it in my first passport, but in my later two it was removed for some reason, which caused confusion and I did not pay attention either to provide an explanation as for me it was not really a name change... So if they said in 7 days time the name will be in certificate, means it is ready and decision is made?! So excited....

Having just said that I checked my account and they have indeed taken the fee. So hopefully everyone who applied 18th/19th will get theirs taken today too
