Thanks to everyone who has posted helpful information on this thread.

I do have a question though, we were told we will need to send our certificate with our passport application, can I get a certified copy and use that instead of the original?

So it looks like I have been successful and will hopefully be able to attend a ceremony on Feb 25.

I have just received an email ending in @fco.gov.uk, does this sound like an official email? It is saying they have received my British Citizenship Certificate and need to organise my attendance for the ceremony. it doesn't mention my name and I haven't received any letters, so I am a bit worried it...

Hi,

On the Application form for British Citizenship by descent it asks for a National Insurance Number, Do I need to put this? I don't have one as I am from Australia, If I need one how do I apply for one from here? or can I use my Australian Tax File Number?

Thanks

Thanks again,

For professional I will either use my doctor or someone from my local post office (I have known her since before she worke...

Nah, none of the grandparents are Irish, I'll have to have a look at that visa, thanks

Just another question, if they were to marry, I would automatically become a British Citizen?, if yes that means I could just apply for a passport?
