Which council is it? Can you do private family ceremonies on Saturday? St Albans/Hatfield council . i am...

My council charges £225 for a private ceremony if I want to go earlier. Also they will not refund/adjust the £80 which I have already paid with my application , seems unfair Shouldn't I be able to apply for refund if I don't take group ceremony? Can you not do the private ceremony in a different co...

Yes, it is not compulsory for British citizens to hold passports. Hi CR001 Yes that is right, just if you can let me know, if one get citizenship by Naturalization and do not hold passport , can he travel to Europe on other passport like Pakistani, but being dual citizen , without British passport.
