Hi all,
Assisting some friend who is about to apply naturalization application but not sure that whether will he be living on same address when he will get decision. A lot of times we read that even the applicant has informed the ukba about his new address even get it confirmed over the phone but the correspondence still goes to old address. Why does this happens and what is the effective way over it. I don't think redirection is good solution because a lot letter still don't get redirected.

Because both UKBA and Home Office are as incompetent as each other.

I will advise that apart of sending the post office mus,t provide service to securely collect the documents too on the production of id.

We've had no issues with UKBA and all it's incarnations over the last 12 years WRT addresses etc and we've moved four times in the period.

You just need to be methodical and organise yourself properly.

Simples....

You may follow up on with all the methods and yet UKBA most likely not bother updating their databases. You, along with many have been lucky but survey says UKBA still miss out on a big chunk. It's basically a lottery, all thanks to their utter incompetence.

UKBA, royal mail, London underground, etc belongs to same family who receives an abundance of laziness & incompetence in inheritance. That's why they won't let either of them in any area of incompetence.
But apart of all that the hand written letter still always work great than other technical ways perhaps they like traditional ways.

Hi, a quick advice please:

I have been residing on address 'A' with my parents for last 7 years and all my mails, council tax, driving licence, passport is addressed here.

2014 Last year I have purchased a second property 'B' (same city) as an investment. and going to sell next year as I have almost finished renovating.
I had to put my name on property 'B' for council tax.

Although I do not live in property 'B', it is still registered under my name only. Do I have to mention this property address in the previous or current address part when filling out the form?
In case Home Office checks for council tax are up to date, both properties has direct debit being paid.

Thanks

Thanks for reply. I asked as I thought in case HO decides to check if I am paying council tax or not, local council will say I have moved to another property, and HO might frown on that.

But I phoned up HO and asked for advice - they said in this case mention the address and reason for it on Page 24, on other info. And that's what I am going to do.
