Mistake on my certification of naturalisation

Hi all,

I received my certificate of naturalization at the ceremony, but there's a minor mistake on it. When I completed my application, I wrote that I was born in Almuñécar (Granada), Spain. However, the certificate says I was born in Almunecar, without the symbol above the letter 'n' (ñ). I'm not concerned about the omission of the city name.

Is this something I should try to correct? I'm hesitant to send my original certificate of naturalization by post, as if Royal Mail loses it, I would have to pay £400 for a replacement. Is there a way to contact the Home Office to ask about this?

Thank you.

The uk doesn't use special characters for names and place names.

They use the English term/phrase/name.
