New Naturalisation Process | Open Questions

Dear Gurus,,

I got ILR last year on Nov 14th and now applying for Naturalisation. However, as from Nov 2, the process of applying is changed, I have the following questions :

1- Can I apply for the passport at the same time using the new service? If yes, do I have to take the passport forms with me or use the online application for the passport and pay for it separately?

2- Using the new service, Will I get my passports definitely back as I need to travel in Mid of December?

3- Can I still use Nationality checking service through my council?

I would really appreciate your guidance in this regard. Many thanks.

Ahmad

Hi All,

Please help .

thanks a lot.

1. No, apparently not available with new service.

2. Yes.

3. If you can find a council offering appointments for NDRS. Many councils are not taking applications and the service appears to be closing on 30th November.

Note it is only the NDRS offering JCAP and no longer NCS.

Many Thanks CR001 for your reply.

However, the problem is that you have to choose NEW SERVICE or EXISTING service before Submitting and paying for the application.

If I choose New service, I am not sure ( neither UKVCAS) that I can submit passport application at the same time.
If I use I choose Old service, there is Risk of not getting an appointment early enough for document review.

Therefore Kinda stuck.
