Post Biometrics appointment questions

Just a quick question I have now submitted the biometrics for the naturalisation.


I believe the next steps are:-
1) Recieve approval letter
2) Citizenship summary

I would appreciate it if you can help me with the following queries:-
1) Once I receive the approval letter I need to schedule the citizenship ceremony within 6 months, right? =>https://www.gov.uk/citizenship-ceremonies

2) Once the citizenship ceremony my understanding is I would need to surrender the BRP within 5 days and hence would need to apply for the passport which takes up to 3-4 weeks in terms of the process and receiving the British passport during which I obviously can't travel.

Thanks,
Prashant

Yes and Yes. You need to contact your local council to book the ceremony after you receive your approval/ invitation letter.

Thanks a lot @mesn, sorry but please could I check if you said yes to these 2 points ?

1) Once I receive the approval letter I need to schedule the citizenship ceremony within 6 months, right? =>https://www.gov.uk/citizenship-ceremonies

2) Once the citizenship ceremony my understanding is I would need to surrender the BRP within 5 days and hence would need to apply for the passport which takes up to 3-4 weeks in terms of the process and receiving the British passport during which I obviously can't travel.

Also is there a specific email from which the naturalisation approval email comes from.
