Re: Moving Abroad After Obtaining UK Passport

I have another question on this topic. The passport is valid for 10 years. What happens if you no longer live in the UK? Can it be renewed from abroad ( possibly from a UK embassy?) The reason I’m asking is because in the citizenship by naturalisation guidance says that Home Office can deprive your ...

Re: Naturalisation Application-Change of Address Details

I will tell you my story. The address changes were a nightmare for me. I applied online in June, then in July I left the UK (and my flat) and uploaded a cover letter with my supporting documents mentioning my temporary address where I wanted the invitation letter to be delivered. I also set up a red...

Re: Naturalisation certificate returned in unacceptable state - info for replacement

I just received my supporting documents. I am furious because I had the naturalisation certificate in a hard envelope and they return it to me in a simple envelope bended. I will definitely file a complain.By the way I applied to Newport HMPO.

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Still no invitation letter and my council won't book my ceremony without the letter. I was approved 3/8 so it's been 16 weeks, well past the 12 weeks timeline the HO originally gave me. Any suggestions on what should I do?

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Am I the only one who's shocked to see that some councils are trying to profit greatly from the lockdown, having suspended public ceremonies and 'offering' only Private ceremonies, or worse, Virtual ceremonies for which they charge up to £200 (!!!) while some others are doing it for free...

Re: Citizenship Ceremony cancelled due to Covid-19

Obviously my letter was sent to me on 11th this week. I’m wondering how long a second class letter can take? If it arrives soon might be worth changing to a private ceremony which is a lot sooner.
