Document delivery

Post by Dudley83 » Wed Aug 16, 2017 1:37 am

Hi all. I have a couple of questions.

1) I requested my documents to be returned due to travel commitments, long before my citizenship was due to be decided. Inside the package, it said that they might need me to send my passport back again but they would write to me to let me know. Has anyone actually had them ask for your passport back again? If so what does the envelope look like that they request it from, or is it via email?

2) When the citizenship ID card finally arrives is it recorded delivery and signed for? Does it show on there that it is from the home office? What does the envelope look like, please? Thanksv for any and all help!

John

2) when your BC application has been approved you will receive just a letter advising the fact and the follow-on arrangements (brown A5 second class). There is no citizenship ID card. You will receive a naturalisation certificate at the citizenship ceremony, only then you are British, and can apply for a passport.

Can't comment on 1) suffice to say I used NCS which allows you to keep the passport and my application was timed around my business travel plans.
