Missed Citizenship Ceremony Booking Deadline: Requesting a New Invitation or Restarting the Application?

I recently returned from a month-long holiday and received an invitation letter for the citizenship ceremony. However, I missed the 21-day deadline to book the ceremony as I was away. I am aware that I have 2 months remaining to arrange the ceremony, because it must be attended within 3 months of the invitation. Does anyone know if it's possible to request a new invitation from the Home Office? Or, would I need to restart the citizenship application process?

Because today is Saturday, I am unable to call the Home Office for assistance. Is there anyone who can provide advice on this matter? Thank you so much!

Thanks for the reply. I double checked the Mail box, but I haven’t got any email from either HO or council.

How likely do you think I would be able to request another invitation? Thank you for your help once again!
