I assume the reason you are waiting is simply so that your mailing address is stable for the return of the RC?

I specifically asked the question of the UKBA about endorsement of passports before applying and was told that it was not required (a copy would be fine).
Hi EUsmile,

Did you mean that you called/emailed the UKBA and they told you that an endorsement was not required?

Thanks

Yes.
Please could you mention the email you contacted them on? I don't find any email id on the UKBA webpage in the contact info.

I have no additional information for you. I emailed UKBA and they said that they did not require an endorsed photocopy. Their website rather unhelpfully suggests otherwise, but their pdf guidance says that a copy will do.
