Ceremony letter received but approval letter not received

Dear Members, I received ceremony invitation letter on 12-02-2019 dated 11-02-2019 and ceremony date is 27-02-2019 but haven’t receive home office approval letter yet, please share your experience when will I receive home office approval letter?
If I don’t receive home office approval in next few days then where I have to contact? And please share home office contact Number regarding this issue.
Please help me in this matter.
Many thanks

Does your letter come from HO or the council??

Does it say anywhere re approval etc?

Suggest wait a couple of days for approval letter if you haven't received the combined letter.

Letter received from local city council.
Doesn’t say anything like re approval.

When will I return BRP to the home office?
Many Many thanks for your reply cr001

Brp is returned after your ceremony.

So I wait few days more for home office approval letter ?
Does I need to send BRP with British passport application? Or I send back to home office soon after ceremony ?
Please guide me.
Kind Regards

Cr001 and other members please reply my above questions, this is your great help for me. Many thanks

I never got one from council. The letter from HO was the invitation for the ceremony. It does take time though as mine was posted in mid december but I actually received it in January first week. 2 days from the deadline for booking the ceremony (21 days).

BRP only has to be returned once you get your naturalisation certificate to the PO box provided on the back of the HO letter. Apparently has to be done within 5 days from the ceremony but I could not see this time limit specified on the letter.

For passport you will need to send the naturalisation certificate with your application form. This is along with the passport you used to come into the UK.
