Hi All,

Am not sure if this question is answered earlier or might be a silly question.

I have an appointment tomorrow with the NCS for Naturalisation. I've got all the application and everything ready, the only thing i dint have is the application for British passport. Does this need to be submitted along with the naturalisation application or can this be done separately once the Naturalisation is approved?

Are you using NCS or NDRS (they are different services)?

NCS no longer do the joint citizenship and passport scheme. NDRS does but you have to use the online citizenship form and the paper passport application form.

You can apply for citizenship only through NCS on paper form and then once you have attended your ceremony if your application is approved, apply for your passport using online or paper form.

Thanks for the info... CR001

As i didn't have much time went with the NCS and came to know that they don't take paper form of British passport application any more.

So they accepted the application for naturalisation and told me to apply for passport separately afterwards. And i find this a better option as i'll send the post and will have a clear track of the application.
