I just took 1 risk.I was asked to send passport docs to Corby but my wife and minor child got Hemel H. I took the risk of delay and sent all the docs to Hemel H, as a link mentioned, family apps can be processed in any one office. Let’s see how it goes.

My naturalisation certificate has my title as part of my first name, so had to submit an application to request for a new naturalisation certificate. Sent an application for this on 14th Sept (via RM special delivery by 1pm)

Asked HM Passport Office to not withdraw my application but to put it on hold while waiting for a new certificate.

Received a new certificate on: 6th November 2023
Sent a new certificate directly to my assigned caseworker at the HM passport office on: 7th November 2023

Such a long journey, hopefully don't have to wait any longer now
