Brown envelope!!!!! With the question on how to spell my surname..... Date is 27 March and I asked to confirm within 7 days.... Otherwise certificate will be issued with the inaccurate spelling...,. Is there an email I can use??? Tried calling but put into answering machine as my application has not exceeded 6 months..... Please help? Thank you

why not using the next day special delivery?

Yes, thanks, I just did that and enclosed another special delivery envelope for certificate... Fingers crossed it will arrive next week....... The letter was sounding quite definite: if I don't respond within 7 days my surname will be spelt the way they spelled it, which is with an apostrophe within it... I had it in my first passport, but in my later two it was removed for some reason, which caused confusion and I did not pay attention either to provide an explanation as for me it was not really a name change... So if they said in 7 days time the name will be in certificate, means it is ready and decision is made?! So excited....

Thank you!!! And good luck to you and all who are still waiting

Congrats as it sounds very promising but keep in mind British Citizenship certificate is not sent via post. You receive it once you attend the ceremony. Keep us posted.

Seems family applications are running into a bit of brick work! Wish I had made a single application x 2, makes no difference cost wise

All the best folks, another day, another dollar - I mean hope
