I am unhappy the way MN1 registration documents were sent. They were folded and had many marks on it. I had paid an extra £5 for the safe and secure delivery of the documents.

I received an email from TNT at 07:35 informing me that my supporting documents are out for delivery today. My naturalisation certificate was more-or-less intact, which makes me lucky I guess.

This is my very last stop in this journey. Thanks for sharing your info, I did the same hoping it will help someone else.

Good luck!
