Hello everyone,
I want to thank you again all the members of this board for their help and support to make my indefinite leave application Set(m) successful. I am preparing for the next step which is next year. I got my indefinite 16th January 2020 and I got my biometric card today. Can you please advice me what is the new online process for British citizenship. If I will apply online for British citizenship as I did in my indefinite application submit,scanned and uploaded documents on sopra steria website. What will the process?

Will I receive the naturalisation certificate first at my home address.then I have to contact my local council for the citizenship ceremony appointment?

After getting the naturalisation certificate do I need to again fill any application form for British passport?

Can anyone please explain me the process.I will really thankful 🙏

Similar process as for ILR, but it is different as it comes under the British Nationality Law - please review the guidance: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... n-guidance

Will I receive the naturalisation certificate first at my home address.then I have to contact my local council for the citizenship ceremony appointment?
No - you will receive a decision letter and invite to the ceremony where you get your certificate, only then are you British.
After getting the naturalisation certificate do I need to again fill any application form for British passport?
Yes if you wish to get a passport - separate application - online or paper - https://www.gov.uk/apply-renew-passport
Can anyone please explain me the process.I will really thankful 🙏
Please ask further questions in this thread.
