Re: British Naturalisation (Application queries)

You cannot book the appointment until you get an invitation to use IDV app (if eligible). Once you receive the invitation to use the app (which will take 2-5 working days), you can use it or book an appointment with UKCAS if you want to give biometric in person.

Your outcome won't affect your wife's application, but you should tick the check box (online application) if you like your child to be registe...
