Questions about the certificate of naturalisation (requesting amendment, when it's needed)
Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2018 5:42 pm
Finally I attended my citizenship ceremony a couple of days ago. But there is one thing that bothers me, it's the date written on the certificate of naturalisation by council official during my ceremony.
I feel that digits that state day of the month are not fully clear and may be ambiguous. I've attached the screenshot here:
When I returned to council with this query, the receptionist said that they can't do anything with this and now I should send my certificate to Home Office. There is a RR form on gov.uk website for this situations and it should be used within 30 days after the ceremony, so if I want to use it I should do it now because later it won't be possible.
My questions are:
1/ What do you think about asking HO to get ceremony date to be amended on the certificate of naturalisation?
2/ If a certificate is amended by HO then is this date printed or manually written?
3/ What are a situations when the certificate of naturalisation is needed? (btw. I have already applied for passport with citizenship application, so I do not need this for my first passport).
The whole process took me over one year (including resident card, Life in the UK and English tests), I'e already paid a lot of money to get this document and the this date confirms the day when I became a British citizen. This is something very important for me and I feel it should be clearly written to avoid situation when somebody will question what exactly date is written or will read this incorrectly and add incorrect date to some other documents.
