Hi all,


No sure if this been posted or not, tried to find out the same topic but no luck so apologise.
I have received my citizenship invitation and I’ve booked my ceremony also however when I checked my details on the application I’ve noticed they’ve spelt my place of birth wrong , basically they added one “r” by mistake I suppose.
I understand I have to send the certificate back to HO once I’ve attended the ceremony but can anyone let me know in more details on how do I do it etc.
Also I understand I can’t apply for a passport now until I get the correct certificate back from HO ?

Much appreciated

Why not wait till you attend your ceremony to see if the error is on the certificate. It might not be.

Yes, you need the certificate to apply for a passport, and you need to send your certificate back to Home Office AFTER you have had your ceremony. When you get your ceremony, you’ll receive an envelope with an information booklet in it, which will let you know what to do.

Why do we have to return the citizenship certificate, isn't it ours to keep as evidence of naturalisation?

Why don't you read what the user has actually posted and asked to understand why it would need to be sent back FOR CORRECTION!!!

Lol, just a bit. It is when certain users (as is the case with this particular one) persistently tag onto other members topics without reading what was asked or understand the circumstances on why something was asked that gets me going!!

Sorry my bad, I apologise. I didn't read the OP and I misunderstood the quotes in BOLD below, I really thought that we all will get an envelope to return the certificate and for some reason I thought he meant that the certificate was just to apply for the passport. Sorry again!

Attended my citizenship ceremony today and received my certificate but unfortunately my place of birth is not spelled correctly and they added another letter.
I understand I need to download and fill the RR form with the details required and send the form + naturalisation certificate + passport to one of their offices in Liverpool for correction however could anyone please tell me if I need to send my original passport or just a photocopy of it will do the work ?
Much appreciated
