Hi all,

I will be booking Citizenship Ceremony on Monday, my question/s:_
1) Do i pay for booking this Ceremony? If yes do i pay when making the booking ceremony ie over the
phone?
2) After the ceremony, certificate granted - do i fill in another online application for British Passport
online? And are referees signature needed? And how much is it for the application?

I appreciate your answers

Hi Mteja,
If you are booking a private ceremony you can pay over the phone, if you are with a group ceremony, it has been already included on your citizenship application fees,
After obtaining your certificate of naturalisation, you can apply for a British Passport either online or by paper, a referee is needed to endorse your photo and sign the application ( I am talking here about the paper application )
Hope this has helped

2) After the ceremony, certificate granted - do i fill in another online application for British Passport
online? And are referees signature needed? And how much is it for the application?

@Love_GB I think i will apply online - if doing it online, how will my referees countersign?

By any chance does anyone know which process is quicker between online and paperwork?

Hi
Thank you both for responding.

I did mine using the paper format without using the post office service, filled in the form and it was in reasonable time nearly 3 weeks considering the Christmas and new year holidays
