You can pay by either Debit Card/ Credit Card or Cheque.

Please see the relevant fees and the payment slip you should bring with you to the NCS (make sure you bring the card or cheque with you) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... r_2014.pdf

Many thanks Jersey. What do you think the best way? and can I use one card to pay for the three applicants in one go or I need to use a payment slip for each applicant? please advise.

I did exactly the same. Used one debit card to pay for my AN and daughter's MN1 applications. I mentioned it to NCS during application. One payment slip with both details filled in. I got acknowledgement letter from Home Office back with confirmation of both fees' deduction.

Many thanks, Excuse me for this silly question but I am confused as I can't see enough space in the payslip to write down details of my son and my husband ( names, dates and places of birth) in one slip! and how can I advise the Home Office to use my debit card only to pay for 3 applicants? Please advise

I think I filled two separate fee slips for my application and my daughter's, filling in same card details on them. But the NCS was helpful and gave me one receipt back for both as name of my daughter and mine in front of "Applicant Name:" and £1575 in front of "I confirm receipt of the sum of" on their Nationality Checking Service - Receipt they gave me back. Home Office then sent acknowledgement, one letter confirming taking sum of £1575 for both my daughter and myself.

So I'd fill in one fee slip per application, go to NCS and mention it to them its one fee slip, mention it to NCS and request one sum receipt for all applications.

Seniors can tell you better. Good luck.

Thanks fwd079, so you didn't pay the ceremony fee and you paid only the fee for handling and processing the application for you and your daughter ! am I right? when and to whom you should pay the ceremony fee?

That £1575 includes the regular ceremony fee as far as I know. Which are held on fortnightly basis or however the local county council decides. You just need to book your place.
For private ceremonies you book the ceremony with council and pay "private" fee i.e. £50-£100 or more depending upon your county council.

Seniors can tell you better. Good luck.

For 2 adults and 1 child it will be £906 x 2 + £669 = £2481

This includes ceremony fees for the adult applicants.

You can use a single payment slip, just write the other two applicant's names and their dob, place of birth next to the white space "Please tick as appropariate"

Many thanks ban.s. Will they accept it coz it's designed for one applicant? Do I have other option ?

alternate option submit 3 payment slips.
either option is fine. HO will process the applications as soon as the payments are made - whether paid together or separately doesn't matter.
