Hi all,

I wonder if anyone has experienced this recently.

I had to send my certificate of naturalisation back and get an amended one because the order of my name is wrong. This is only because the name order in my birth country and name order in the UK are different.

So I've paid £168 (or whichever the right fee is now) to get that done and heard that it usually take about 6 weeks. This I think is already an appalling service considering the fee for printing a new certificate is already extortionate.

However everytime I called to check up the status, they increase the waiting time. I called them just now and they said 10 weeks (almost 3 months for a certificate!!).

Does anyone know what is the realistic timeframe for this and what I can do to speed things up? I'm thinking of contacting my MP but not sure if that would be of any help.

Thanks so much for any advice.

Possibly due to Christmas holidays. I think that could cause bit of delay.

HI

Just wanted know is that your mistake that name sequence was wrong in the certificate or HO?

If its HO mistake than why u send them the fees as it in not your mistake.

They did a mistake in my child MN1 certificate. Put a wrong nationality section. I just send the certificate back to the address mentioned in approval letter (as they said in the approval letter if any mistake send the certificate back to this office). i didn't fill any form or pay any fees. Just wanted know i did the right thing or not?

Regards
