Well, I received my British passport last week, so it's all over now, but would not rate very high the Post office check & send service.

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

It's really sad to hear post office refused to give that information. Only to offer you some solace... Check & Send service is tracked internally by every post office that offers it. When they have documents like your passport/naturalisation certificate, they can't afford to be careless. It's your ...

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Just wondering: is the interview date decided for you or do you need to ring them and tell them a preferred date and place? Thanks! When you call them they usually ask you where you would like to have the interview and give you the 1st available date. Of course, if it is not convenient for you it c...

Re: British Passport application processing timelines (only)

Don't worry, it takes a while for the applications to be logged on the system.
Even though I received the SMS 6 days after sending the application the helpline people could not confirm anything for another 2 days, so give it at least 7-8 days.

Hi guys I will apply for my passport very soon. Please could you let me know if I have to include my foreign passport with the application, as well as the original Naturalisation Certificate (I will go to the Post Office for my application to be checked).

That's correct. Just noticed the Form has 'September 2013' on the cover page. I am pretty sure I had downloaded the form in August but my interview with NCS was in September and the officer did not mention anything about the form. Do I have to blame it on them if my application gets rejected because...

I have had all my documents checked at the NCS last Monday, 23rd Sep, and paid the fees by cheque. As the Application should have been received by the Home Office the following day the cheque should have cleared by now, which is not the case. Should I call the NCS to double check whether the Applica...

Hi Guys
Please can someone advise me whether my photo on the Naturalisation Application form has to be certified on the back as a 'True Likeness with the Original' by one of the referees or no need for that.
Thanks

Hi SET0
I am afraid you can apply 12 months after the date you were granted the ILR.
