E mail. But this is not standard.
Post is the normal way once your certificate has been sent to your council.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

A big Thank you to Cr001.
People behaving badly and attacking the very country that they try to become a citizen of is concerning indeed.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
Approval 4th June.
Still no luck.
Good luck to everyone in getting their ceremony as soon as possible.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

The irony is that home off icevis looking at introducing fast track applications like we had with our ILR. probably cut times in half. But unfortunately will be to late for us.
Application end Dec 19. Biometrics end Jan.
Approval e mail 3rd June
No certificate or invite as yet.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

My application approved 4th June.
Waiting?
Is there any way of checking HO have changed your address?
I sent the relevant info in and filled in the online form.
So I don't know if my invite etc will go to new council or old.
Some advice would be well appreciated.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Totally agreed. I am willing to pay extra for a private ceremony but an unable. What bothers me is there was an error in processing my application and I was told to re do a step. I pointed out that under regulations this was not needed as it was valid. I then only got approval. So my approval could ...

As far as I have read there is no massive backlog on passports. Just hearsay. Also if you travelling they will get you a new one in a week. Google it.
