If you decide to use NCS@ the council, you will get tour original documts back except the Life In The UK test.
Once the Home Office acknowledge And debit the fees, you will receive a letter instructing you to go to the Post Office for Biometrics!
After that, you wait as long as it takes for a decision.
If you're approved you will receive a letter from the Home Office confirming approval and another letter from council inviting you to book your place for a Ceremony. At the end of the Ceremony your certificate will be handed to you!
Only then you fill in the British passport form, enclosing right documents, a small photograph of you and a referee.
Later you will receive a letter to book an identity interview and once theyre satisfied of your identity you receive the new passport shortly after!
