Hi areczkowski24,

To your second question: Three (3) photos per applicant if you are doing a joint citizenship and passport application - british-citizenship/photographs-require ... 46875.html. Not sure if one or two for the app by itself.

Hi Twine,

Thanks for your reply


I had already my appointment for NDRS+JCAP
And lady said I need to attach 2 x photos for passport applicatio and 2 x for referees so together 4 passport photos.

Just checking if I've got the steps right for my application:

I want to apply for naturalization and passport at the same time so will be completing online application and using Nationality document return service at my local council.

1. Complete online application, pay, and print out documents
2. Referees need to sign printed out document.
3. Make appointment with Nationality document return service . Take all documents/passports etc etc with.
Is there any time frame that I need to consider between printing out the docs and booking? Might take me a week or two to get the referees to sign.

Proof of living in the UK for Mr xxxxxxx (what does living in uk means)

Mr xxxxxxx proof of freedom from immigration time restrictions

Mr xxxxxxxx evidence of identity

I've just hit submit on my application and says I need to register my bio-metrics. I've already done this when getting my BRP, do I need to resubmit these?

Hi all,

I have few more weeks to be eligible for BC (in 5 years +1 year ILR route). My preference is to apply for BC and passport (JCAP) at the same time

Just want to clarify the below in advance of that:

(1) Is my understanding correct that the date of application to BC is the date when we actually made our online payment, correct? (and not the date when we have our NDRS Appointment). If so I will 'submit' on the same day as my ILR. Is that ok? Correct, date of application and payment online is the date of application so yes, you must have held ILR for 12 months exactly or longer.

(2) Is it mandatory to apply for NDRS at the council you are living in ? or can it be anywhere? My council (London borough of Havering) needs payment number before booking NDRS appt, as there is a 10-day requirement to submit the docs from online application submission, I was wondering if we can book appt at any other council in advance, as done by some of the other members? Note sure about NDRS, but NCS could be at any office.

(3) Do we need to fill in any separate form(s) for applying for passport? from post office? or will this be covered through the same online application? You need to complete the separate passport form from the Post Office. Form AN is ONLY for naturalistion.

(4) When do we actually become 'citizen' ? Is it when we complete the oath ceremony? or when we receive the 'approval' letter? This info will help me plan for my partner's and daughter's BC application. You are only British once you have attended your ceremony and received your certificate.

(5) Can the same (online) form be used for registering a NON-UK born 3-year old too? or is there a different online form (similar to MN1)? Yes

Many thanks for your time

Thank you, CR001. You are super-quick, as always!

On:

(2) I will wait for others views on NDRS

(5) I assume you are saying 'Yes' to the first-part of my question - that we can use the same form for registering a non-UK born child?

Thank you alexmdev.

Just for my piece of mind, have you personally done that or any other member who have done that? or can you point me to some link that suggests so.

Also if it is ok to do so, is it a must to do the citizenship ceremony too at the same council?

Cheers

I had applied online and then applied for NDRS and JCAP at a different council from where I live. I requested for the naturalisation ceremony at a different council from where I live.

The reason being I had sued my council for sexual harassment and discrimination,for when I was working there as an agency worker, and had got an out of court settlment which cited changes to their review process for discrimination etc and payment. So, my council had lost my vote of confidence.

But I didn’t give the reason for requesting a different council for my naturalisation, should I have done so on my online application? Or should I send an email stating the same to HO? I had signed a non-disclosure with my council, so would it be ok to send a reason for my different council request? This forum is anonymous, so hence my question here. I do not want my application to be looked at with suspicion because I asked the same.

No reason is needed. It is irrelevant to your application. However, HO sometimes gets requests wrong for another venue for the ceremony.
