Nationality Checking Service
The Nationality Checking Team can help make sure your
application for British Citizenship isn't delayed. We do this
by:
- checking your forms to make sure everything is completed
correctly
- making sure all the required documents and fees are attached
before the application is sent to the Home Office.
We are able to return to you all your important documents (such
as your passport and marriage certificate) rather than you having
to submit them to the Home Office.
How we help
If you decide to use the service, a trained advisor will:
- check your application forms have been completed correctly
- make sure all required documents are attached
- check that the correct fee has been submitted
- photocopy valuable documents such as passports
and marriage certificates
- certify the copies and return the originals to you
- collect and submit 'Life in the UK' certificates and other
evidence of competence in the English language
- ensure your completed application is sent to the Home Office by
special delivery.
