Naturalisation application and Ecctis letter (code)

[tiredeconomist]

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all doing well. I will be applying for naturalisation in a few months and I have a couple of quick questions about the Ecctis letter. Apologies if any of these are obvious:

1) Does Ecctis provide a PDF letter with the reference code on it, or do they only provide the code? I am asking because the naturalisation process mentions an “Ecctis letter” as a required document but the form does not seem to have a specific section for just a code.

2)Does the Ecctis letter or reference code have an expiry date?

3) How recent does the letter need to be? For example, if I get it at the end of June, would it be OK to use for an application I submit at the end of September this year?

I know some of these might seem like simple questions, but I am really nervous about getting everything right. Thanks so much in advance for any help!

I am not aware of the details of how to get an Ecctis letter, but I believe they generally send you a letter to certify that your degree is equivalent to a UK degree, if that is what you apply for.

Many thanks. I guess this is the case. The best way to figure out is to start the Ecctis process and see what happens

You would receive the confirmation and on the application portal, you will be able to download it. There is also a code, if its to verify a education qualification etc it does not expire.
