First British Passport Procedure

Hi everyone, on the 17th May 2017 I've applied for British Citizenship. I've also opted for a new JOINT (Citizenship + Passport) application. Finally after 5 months of dreadful waiting the status changed to DECIDED (I'm confident in a positive outcome), but I'm not sure what are the next steps. Can somebody clarify that please :wink:

If I went for the JOINT application does it mean I would get my passport at the ceremony?
What about the PASSPORT interview?

Thank You

No you don't get it at the ceremony. Once you have attended the ceremony, the council informs HO that you have attended and this kicks in the process for your passport to be printed/finalised and then sent to you. This takes a couple of weeks usually, depending on how soon the council notifies HO.
What about the PASSPORT interview?
There is no interview for JCAP applicants.
