I have the exact same question i applied online+NDRS on 27th of november but passport fee have not been taken yet , i didnt get the tracking number from my council lady so i even thought if they sent the copy of documents to liverpool or notAlex-makedon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 07, 2019 9:07 pmHello everybody! As I see from most of the post, after submission naturalisation application NDRS+JCPS fee for passport application deducted within 3-4 weeks.
We submitted our application 26 of November and passport fee still not deducted.
Any idea regarding that matter?
No they don't, it is deducted for all who apply using JCAP. Deduction of passport fee is no indication of approval. Members have posted being refused citizenship even with JCAP and passport fee being deducted!!
That's your opinion. I am looking at my JCAP receipt right now and it clearly says
You are assumin the NCS receipt is correct - those receipts are made up by the councils. There have been many cases where both AN and PP fees have been deducted in quick succession and applicants still waited three or more months for AN decision (assuming they had been approved).So basically only after a citizenship application is successful they will deduct the fee. Your opinion is wrong.
I believe you have just confirmed their point.WhoAreYou wrote: ↑Thu Jan 10, 2019 4:43 pmThat's your opinion. I am looking at my JCAP receipt right now and it clearly says
"Fee accepted to be forwarded to HMPO on successful completion of your citizenship application.
It will be kept by HMPO until your application for citizenship has been processed. If your application for citizenship is unsuccessful HMPO will not continue with the passport application."
Also "Following a successful citizenship application your passport application and payment will be sent to HMPO. Payment will be processed within 5 to 14 days of receipt."
So basically only after a citizenship application is successful they will deduct the fee. Your opinion is wrong.
We have been giving this advice on the the forum many times.romado wrote: ↑Mon Jan 14, 2019 12:22 pmPassport office just called. Apparently, I provided information with my american express card which isn't accepted by passport office. I asked question why fee deducted before decision and guy on the line said it's admin fee they take regardless decision result as they process passport application. Deduction doesn't really mean decision has been made and it's positive. These are 2 independent processes.
Definitely!

Today they take money from previous card again. So they took passport fee twice. Should I call them on that matter?
