Correcting a mistake on my naturalisation certificate

I am in a similar situation.

My certificate omitted my middle name (only realised when I applied for a UK passport and was denied as my French passport has my middle name).

February 9, 2022 my amendment request was delivered (tracked) with my French passport as proof of identity.

April 4, 2022 I wrote to FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk and received a reply April 5th that "Your request to have your certificate amended has been complete and will be sent to you within the next 2 weeks."

May 12, 2022 I emailed again for an update. I still have not heard back (today is June 3rd).

Hi Just a update

Cover letter, original cert, supporting docs received by HO - 05/05/2021
Calls made and email sent to them on 12th May and 17th May
Email received from them today just stating that the package as arrived now

I'm bit surprised that they received it on 5th May and i have signed proof as well. I guess it takes 2 weeks to reach that department. Now god only knows when they will start assessing the file

Hi did you get your certificate?

Hi! Yes mine came on June 28th and I sent it to the UK Passport Office (where I had an application on hold awaiting the change) and my British passport came today!

Total timeline:

Feb 9 2022 my amendment request was received (tracked).
April 4 emailed FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk
April 5 received a reply that my request was complete and would be mailed in the next two weeks.
May 12 emailed again.
June 10 received a reply: "Apologies, but your amendment request is still being reviewed by a caseworker. Once they've completed their investigation or if further documents are required they will contact you."
June 27 received a physical letter informing me that my certificate would be issued soon and returning my verification documents (my French passport and copy of my birth certificate).
June 28 my certificate arrived! I immediately scanned it for my records and sent the original to the Passport Office (along with a photocopy of my French passport) to complete my passport application.

I hope everyone receives theirs soon.

Hi everyone,
I hope you guys are doing well.
I am in similar position to this, I have applied for British passport after I received my nationality.
Its been nearly 3 months since i applied, when I track my application it say document received.
I contacted my MP for help and when they contacted the HMPO they said there is an error in my nationality and needs reissue .
My question is did you guys receive your nationality back and you send it yourself for correction or the HMPO did it for you.
And when you guys were tracking your application what was it saying? Was it showing anything that show that your application is on hold or anything?
Thank you

Hi All,

I'm in a similar position as well. My daughter's British citizenship certificate had her first name misspelled by the case worker and I sent the RR form along with all supporting documents on 19th July. It was delivered on 20th July and have proof of delivery with signature. I sent them a follow up email to Furthernationalityenquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk on 7th September but received an automated message saying that they will respond within 20 working days. I sent them another email on 5th October and same automated response. Does anyone have any advice as to what I can do please.

Standard processing times are 6 months, so at the moment not much else that can be done. Their response time is slow at the moment because of the huge backlog in applications.

Does anybody knows how long it takes to have a duplicate Certificate? If it’s lost ?

I am trying to fill Form RR and I have a query. In the beginning of the form, it is asking for "any reference numbers used in your previous immigration applications". I am not sure what to enter here. in our ILR confirmation letter from home office, there is a case ID. Do I need to enter the case ID here?

We used case IDs from previous visa applications (before ILR). Basically to link the cases, to speed up the process.

I am currently in the same situation. Sent the RR form together with original certificate back in Sep 2022.

It has been nearly 6 months now. I also tried sending emails to HO and also contacted my local MP but still nothing from HO so far

Does anyone have any advice on what I could do etc… ?

Also is there a possible way to travel outside the UK ?
