Home Office Atlas - Biometric Notification for Cancelled Application
Posted: Sun Sep 07, 2025 3:55 pm
Hello,
I recently cancelled my first British naturalization application and received confirmation of its cancellation, including the ROD number and also cancelled the biometrics. The day after receiving the cancellation number, I submitted a second application and have already completed biometrics for this new second application.
Today, however, I received an email stating that I have 45 days left to complete biometrics for my initial (now cancelled) application, or else it will be marked invalid. I am concerned that if the cancelled application is marked invalid, it may affect my eligibility for a refund.
Could you please advise me on the following:
• Will the marking of my cancelled application as invalid prevent me from receiving a refund?
• Is there an email address or contact person to whom I can forward the Home Office's biometric notification to clarify my situation?
• Should I take any further steps regarding the biometric request for the cancelled application, given that my second application and biometrics have already been completed?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
