I applied quite a while back in March. However, there were a few errors so had to redo it. Got a SMS on April 25th, my documents were returned a week or so later, but I've not received any further contact or an interview date. Also, judging by posts here, you should generally get your letter of inte...
Thanks for the update. Make sure you attend the ceremony as soon as possible as you don't become a British citizen until this occurs and your existing immigration status (or lack thereof) still applies. They can also cancel the approval if too much time elapses before the ceremony or there's some c...
Just wanted to thank you for all your help. I sent my application in early Dec, and it's already been approved pending the ceremony! Looks like my gap year travels will be able to go ahead, provided the passport application doesn't take too long!

x How does sending copies work if you apply through the NCS (checked and my NCS do Form T, seems very exploitative but not much choice) Will the NCS make the copies? I was sure that I read somewhere that the UKBA/Home Office don't accept copies? Hoping to send it by the end of the month, fingers cr...
x So my LEA claim that they don't keep records for more then seven years which is roughly when I left. I was wondering if I sent my application with what I've got i.e NHS records/vaccinations/the odd letter from school, if the home office deem it to not be sufficient will they reject my application...
The British Nationality Act gives you an entitlement to register as a British citizen as long as you were born in the U.K. and lived in the U.K. from birth to 10th birthday (in fact the law says absent for less than 90 days each year, but is substantially the same thing). You need to provide eviden...
Make sure you send certified copies rather than originals, if these are irreplaceable documents. (if they are lost it will be your problem, not the Home Office). Or use the Nationality Checking Service, although they may not handle Form T applications. I think I'll use the NCS..as my birth certific...
Have you got no documents of your own from school, healthcare, bank pass books, etc? Even if the school no longer exists, have you written to the Local Education Authority? You must have some kind of NHS record in your name. Can you get British citizens (preferably of professional standing) who kne...
Read here, it depends on the Nationality of your parents and your date of birth http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/britishcitizenship/eligibility/registration/ Thanks for the reply. I know that I'm eligible for British citizenship via registration (I've checked that page before) It's providing the d...
OK, so I'm 19 years old. I've lived in the UK all my life and have never left the country, therefore do not have a passport. I'm trying to apply for British registration, but I strangely don't have any 'official' letters to prove that I was here from 0-10. My primary school doesn't even exist anymor...

Do people who are only registering as British citizens face the same wait as those going through the whole naturalisation process? especially if your application is straightforward I wanted to go travelling next May, but saw that it could take 3-6 months and then I'd have to do the ceremony stuff an...

I just want to get it sorted, since I've not been able...
