[quote="Rahul008"]Hello,

Can anyone please let me know the phone number to call regarding the status of the naturalisation application?
Also, what reference number should we quote when we ask for the status?
Thank you in advance!

Cheers,[/quote]


+443001232253 is their contact number, as far as i know you will not know the HO reference number for your application unless the case worker has contacted you for something.

Hi Guys,

I am wondering if someone can help. I am due to send my naturalisation and I notice that my referees have misspelled my name wrong. Rather than Lilian, they have put Lillian.

Does it matter?

I will recommend to fill that page again with correct spelling. Because sometimes they make issue for that. Just a little bit extra work will save you from lots of tension and trouble. Thanks
