No!rents_78 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 6:33 pmI have the same question, considering that you cannot get the signatures from the referees until you have the final form printed out and you cannot have the final form until you have paid, the sequence of events should be, I assume:
- complete the online form and collect all documentation
- when all is ready, book an appointment with the council
- 2/3 days before the appointment complete the online process and make the payment
- print out the form with the referees forms and get them signed
- attend the appointment with the council
Can anyone confirm if the sequence above makes sense?
At Stage 4, on the page titled "Referee Declatations", you have hyperlinks to download Declatation - Referee 1 & Declaration - Referee 2. Download these are PDFs and print those out for referee signatures
Same issue with me, so i called European Helpline and they confirmed that i can apply and use the date on the card not what you have on the decision letter. HO has a record of the acquisition date in their Database. Helpline people suggested me to write a cover letter explaining all that . and also you can include the decision letter.KRISSKIN wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:46 pmI have got little issue. Online form-question:
enter your permanent number: number of my card
enter date of issue: 13 july 2017
-question is my document said -you acquired permanent residence status : 01.06.2016
just wonder if HO will not misunderstand my date when and I'm able to apply for citizenship.
anybody got same queries ? advise me please.
Yes. You will get an email to confirm you have paid. Also on your checklist which you have to print and send, it will have a PNN number, which is a unique payment number, which confirms you've paid (which if you use NDRS service, your council will expect to see).
Your last statement is correct.Brims2005 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 10:45 amHi All
I have a question about citizenship. If someone can answer I will be grateful. I have applied for my wife's citizenship through online application. Sent her documents and passport application through NDRS (Nationality document return service) on 14/02/18. Dis not hear anything from home office yet. But when I have checked the bank statement I have seen that money went from my account for passport (£72.50) on 02/03/18. What does it means? Her application is successful? Or there is no relationship between passport fees gone from the account and actual citizenship approval.
Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the clarification. Much appreciated.Blues1 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 06, 2018 8:33 amYes. You will get an email to confirm you have paid.

You may be fine with Naturalisation, but you will most likely have alot of difficulty when you apply for British Passport. Have a read of british-citizenship/british-passport-po ... 84012.htmlgagerson wrote: ↑Wed Mar 07, 2018 1:53 pmHi,
I'm filling in Online Application and got a question about:
- Your Name
Enter your name, as shown in your current passport or travel document.
I have got married in Aug 2016 but my Polish passport still shows my maiden name ("Gaga"). Everywhere else in UK my surname is my married name ("Lee").
When I did Life in UK and Language proof as well as my Residency Permit they were done in maiden name Gaga.
Problem is if I go truthfully to what they ask ie.. "name shown on current passport (Gaga)" will my Naturalisation certificate show my maiden name meaning that when I apply for British Passport I will have to ask for different name (Lee) on passport or what do I do?
I could update my Polish passport with married name but frankly its a bit of a long process.
Please help

1. Does the online form have space for the equivalence of a covering letter (explaining things that are not clearly covered in the form etc). Paper application I would just add a covering letter
Yes. there is a box at the end for anything you have to add.
2. to "prepare" for the online application can I just use form AN? Alternatively can you start the online form and just keep saving and changing it till you press "submit"
Use online form only, it’s easier. You can go back and edit/add anything you want before submitting the form.
3. I have an NDRS appointment 17 days after after my BC qualifying date, does it matter when I send the form for fastest service (i.e exactly 10 days before or they won't start looking at it till the NDRs envelope arrives so doesn't matter)
I don’t know
4. Can I use the referree page in AN document for subsequent sending (via NDRS) or is there is a specific one for the online application. I would like to get referees out of the way now
There is a special referee form for this to download towards the end of online application (different a bit to AN). Best to fill in the application with some random scribble first so that you can get to and download referee forms. You can then edit/add the previous things. That’s what I did as I had to post forms to my referees early on.
5. I am applying for passport at NDRS can I download the form or must get from post office
I don’t know
Thank!
