Reference Number for arranging Citizenship Ceremony

[newbie0203]

Hello Everyone,

I was just wondering what Reference Number is used when you book Citizenship ceremony with council? Is it same as the one on your acknowledgement and Biometric letter or any different?

Also there are 2 reference numbers on Biometric letter - One Case Reference Number (9 digits) and the other one is Our Ref which is 8 characters long with first character as alphabet and rest 7 digits -> Which one is used for ceremony booking please?

TIA,
Newbie

This wait is so pathetic, applied first week of Oct and still no news

I'm also applied first week in oct and no replay yet . It's looks like oct applications late although Sep application they recieved thier reply in first week in Nov
But I know few ppl applied in oct Nd recieved their approval last week and they r not members here
That's worried me specially post office Gona close for 5 days so it's look like we will recieve the replay in jan

It seems to be taking much longer for non-EU applicants as I have seen multiple approvals for October but for people going via EEA route. Don't know why such a gap between EU & Non-EU application processing

I'm non eu but eea route lol
Are u going to ring Ncs to ask about ur reference ceremony ?
