Hi Guys

I recently applied for naturalization through my local NCS.

However, I will be away from the UK for a few weeks and am worried that if UKBA/caseworker sends any letters I might miss them until I am back.

I have requested my neighbour to look at my post each week while I am away and notify me if he spots a letter from UKBA.

However, I am not very clear if it is easy to spot a letter from UKBA by just looking at the envelope.

Normally, letters from HMRC or NICO are easily recognizable by the colour of envelope they use.

I am mainly worried if the caseworker sends a letter asking for more information and I am away during that time.

Cheers,

Normally, it's a brown A4 envelope.

Thanks!!

Is this size (A4) used for both acknowledgement letter and approval letter?

I remember getting my Tier-1 application acknowledgement letter on a A4 sheet, folded into half in a Brown A2 size envelope

Also, are the envelopes easy to identify, just like the ones from HMRC.

yes, both approval/invitation and acknowledgement comes in a A4 Brown envelope. It's normally stamped with advanced 2nd class.

Not in my case, both acknowledgement and invitation letter came in A5 - folded once. Both were brown envelops though. Granted, that has been a while, maybe HO changed that.

My apologies, I got confused. The letters are folded once to fit in the A5 envelope (I just confirmed the sizes of the envelope online). It's still Brown and normally stamped with advanced 2nd class.

in addition, it will have on its reverse, Liverpool address

Great, Thanks!!
