Documents return

Q) If I was make citizenship application by post, do Home Office return the documents (read - passports / other important documents); soon after they have taken payment (assuming that they would have taken a photocopy for their records), or do you receive documents only with the naturalisation certificate?

Off late; looking at application tracker it seems postal applications have better turn around time compared to NCS application and hence inclination to apply by post.

A) Looking for an answer....

i think it is the same as ILR and if u submit via post they keep your docs until completion. Rather why not submit via your local NCS and you keep your originals after they have made copies?
