Form NQ online application - anything to do after?

Hey folks!

I just finished doing my online application for form NQ (proof of non-acquisition of British citizenship) so that I can keep my South African citizenship. After you pay the last step is "Download and print" your form, but then that's it?

I don't have to post it anywhere or do anything? I just wait? Why would I want to print out the form if you don't have to do anything with it :/

Why can't the Home Office just be clear with it's instructions!

I have recently applied myself, but a postal application. I'm a bit concerned as they've still not taken any money out and it's been more than the 10 working days! I need to get on with my Naturalisation application, so this is now holding it up.

They are really slow, they had a warning up when I did mine saying they were at high capacity or something but surely form NQ doesn't take a lot of manpower :/ At least when they take payment you know they're doing something. With online, they take your money and you have no idea what's going on!

OK I got the letter now So if you do it online then you don't need to post anything and it seems fairly efficient (surprising!).

Hey sorry for not getting back to you! I don't log on here often.

I applied in UK and had it sent to a UK address. After you submit the form online and they take your payment, that's it - you don't have to do anything more.

It's really quick to get it, a couple of weeks Actually you probably have yours already!
