Spouse NCS same days as Citizenship ceremony

Friends,

I have my citizenship ceremony on 19th of May (in the morning). I am planning to book my wife's NCS appointment for naturalization under the 3 years residence requirements on the same day.

My plan is I
  • get the certificate from the ceremony (which I am assuming you are provided after the ceremony),
    add the details to my wife's application and send it through NCS, and then
    send my British Passport Application as well through Royal Mail Check and Send.


all the same day..

Lots of things in one day, just wanted advice if this will work out. Cannot really see any hiccups or issues with this, but just want to make sure I am not missing anything..

Just trying to save a day off from work!..

I guess it should be all right.
You do get the certificate straight after the ceremony and in my case the date on it was the date I was taking the ceremony.

Thanks Milan69. The only 'wrong' thing I can think of is I will have to get the referees and countersignatory to sign in advance and put a later date on their signatures. Actually the referees are fine, it's the counter signatory who has to affirm all the information in the passport form. Or maybe I am just over thinking it..
