Is somewhere full list of places which are part of that pilot scheme? I am from Bristol and I am not sure if I should go to Gloucester or Bristol because even lady on other side of line didn't know.

And looking at Bristol NCS website didn't answer your question? Google is wonderful.

You are right, google is powerful, but I don't know if they are that pilot scheme or not. Where it is written there? Only that they are doing citizenship and passport.

I'm from Bristol and just booked my wife's appointment for joint application so they certainly offer it now.

You don't have to cancel your current appointment if Gloucester offers JCAP. You can apply at any NCS, it does not have to be the NCS where you live.

JCAP is no longer a pilot scheme, it is now being rolled out to all NCS nationally.

Really? how to do it now? Just call bristol NCS and tell them that I already have booking for Gloucester but it is more suitable to do it in Bristol so I want swap places?

This doesn't work like that. You can't swap it.

What CR001 meant to say that you can still go ahead with your appointment as it doesn't need to be via your local council.

The challenge may be travel involved to Other council.

Can anybody please inform if Bristol CC offers joint application for naturalization as well as Passport and requirements? I was looking into their website and can not find any such scheme on their web but Gloucester CC does give those info. Any helpful reply much appreciated

I'm reminded of the story of when Marconi (no doubt excitedly and proudly) demonstrated an early wireless transmission to his father.

Father responded that if he wished to call a servant he would simply ring a bell.
