I am planning of applying next month for naturalisation. I am not sure whether to use NCS or not. I don't plan to travel in the near future. Is the application processed faster if submitted through NCS?

I do not think there is any difference in processing timelines. NCS does check your application during the process though.
If you require your passport/travel document during the naturalisation process(unknown duration) then you can use the NCS. Alternatively if you do not have any travel plan for say next 4 months, apply postal and then request return of documents from HO.

Thanks for the reply. If I make the application by post, how do I make the payment? The form does not have any payment details i.e. debit/credit card details or if paying by cheque who do you address it to?

Thanks Haadi83. I know it might sound silly but when sending your application, do you staple all the pages together or use paper clips?
