You don't need your Driving Licence for citizenship. You'll need your ILR, passport, LITUK test result and proof of having lived here for the required period of time (if you're non-EEA past visas and the stamps in your passport would suffice). If you're married to a UK citizen, you'll need your par...

Nothing happens if I don't get a citizenship. When I expire PR, I can renew it? Is that right? PR doesn't expire. If Brexit happens and UK leaves EU, you will need to exchange your PR for settlement status (cannot do that right now as EU Settlement Scheme will go live by 29th March). But don't forg...

I have a certificate of residence( a sticker on a blue booklet), that is what they used to issue when you apply for residance back in 2008. Do I need to apply for a DCPR or a replacement of what I have?Do I need to apply for a DCPR for my daughter at the same time? She is turning 9 in March so even...

I've been living in the UK for over 6 years and I'd like to apply for citizenship as soon as possible. I have applied for Permanent Residence a few days ago and will provide the documents via the European Passport Return service on Tuesday. What I'm unsure about is how this all looks with Brexit ah...

Dear all, Hope you are all well. I applied for Naturalisation on the 8th of November. I am from Pakistan and I suffer from anxiety. I was under the impression that people normally hear back within 6 to 8 weeks. I am now entering the 10th week. Anxiety has gone through the roof. I am overthinking an...

Thanks.. I'm using the normal service, so will need to post my passport and residence permit. Is there any way of requesting these back? Has anyone else been in a similar situation? How soon do they send it back? Thanks https://www.gov.uk/visa-documents-returned Based on people's feedback on this f...

Still after advice on in and out of uk dates. Is it a problem if we fill in approximate dates as we don’t remember the exact ones. We haven’t been out of uk for too long, just short holidays here and there. Regards Not sure if this applies to you. But worth mentioning I think. I managed to find all...

Hi. Might be a silly question. We applied for naturalisation in oct last year. We have friends that applied after us and got the decision a month ago. I contacted them to ask for an update and received this email. "" All applications are dealt with in application receipt date order. As you applicat...

Interestingly, it mentions "Applications for registration as a British citizen under sections 4C, 4F, 4G, 4H and 4I where the only ground for refusal is where the applicant does not meet the good character requirement, will remain on hold until further notice.". Therefore, I would guess, if you woul...

They have NOT asked you to send English language test proof? why are you sending it to them?

You have to send proof of English language to satisfy the language requirement.

Both referees look good to me. I believe they need to sign 2 separate declaration forms. Maybe CR001 can confirm that for reassurance. SidiBou Well, if you want to follow Home Office's protocol it will be 2 separate forms. That's what they give you when you apply online (2 separate forms to downloa...

Then it's most likely an automated response to your email.

I had my NDRS/JCAP appointment on the 26th November and had my passport fee deducted on the 20th December. I am expecting the approval letter by the end of this week. They only deduct passport fee if application is successful.. No they don't, it is deducted for all who apply using JCAP. Deduction o...

Have you sent them an email previously?

They are essentially just saying they aim to reply to your email within 20 working days and ask not to spam them with emails in case you have submitted your naturalisation application less than 6 months ago.

Someone mentioned the other day that the old service is still active, meaning you can fill the online application, select the old/existing service and the you will need to go to the Post Office to do your biometrics (using the pdf letter you receive immediately upon application submission) and also...

Application date is date of submission and payment online for citizenship.

Ah, yes, forgot this part, true! CR001 as always to the rescue.

Essentially, 0 time difference then.
But might have to spend money on travelling & on appointment time that suits your work schedule.
