Thanks man!

Hi Friends,

How much time should I allocate to the passport interview? I mean how much time does it take between getting into the venue and getting out?

Thanks for your help!

Sounds great skymoon...is it true for "secure delivery" of return documents too?

Friends, I won't be available to receive passport/returned documents delivery to my home as I will be at my work place (Mon - Fri). Is there a possibility of either of these: 1) Request that the courier guy just drops the package into my letter box without requiring me to sign stuff 2) Request the p...

Thanks guys...I had asked a few but people were equally clueless of what to do with those boxes

Hi All,

Section-4 of passport application form has four boxes to cross (just under "Parents' details" heading). What are they for? Do we have to tick any of those?

Thanks!

Appreciate if someone could provide clarification. There are four boxes to check in Section 4 of passport application form. Any idea what is the basis for the four boxes and which ones to check under what conditions? Thanks. Read the subject line of this thread: "Passport applications tmeline". Pos...

Check the Table of supporting documents on page 13 of the guide. There is a big X under grandparents details for naturalised citizens. The application form is n...

How do they check whether the dates given by you are hypothetical or actual. Hope you understand my point. you don't need to, if you don't know.. Thanks. Is it part of their policy guidance? Where? I understand British authorities go by rule book. That's a different question. Filling up the form an...

Bumping this discussion up!

I don't see anywhere in passport application guidance that states that naturalised citizens don't require to provide grand parent details.

Anyone - please help me get the document that does state so.

Thanks for your help!

I would suggest you contact them again and ask them to connect you to the headoffice right away. Then will probably then connect to someone from HO and the guy can book the ceremony for you.

emmigrator123 my man... Congratulations. I also applied through NCS in Barnet in London but my local council is up north. I wonder if the same happened to me. What is the date of your approval please? My approval letter date is 5th Feb. It says to contact the Leeds Register Office. I applied throug...

Sorry Guys !! If i had set up the panic.. I had some relatively new person at the NCS. I showed her the back side(of course of the form) last page. I told I am single, Tier 1 nonEU + 1.5 years of ILR. All I need is passport, may be life in Uk certificate(which I already use with ILR). But she said ...
