I have asked for my passport back as I will need to travel with work. Very helpful staff at UKBA and passport arrived next day after my request. Although I had to pay £7.22 for special delivery as I asked them to leave the SP envelope I enclosed for my other documents and approval .... Does anyone know if this request will delay my application ?

when you send the original letter you can ask the post office to prepay for your self addressed envelope to be sent special delivery, they will give you a tracking reference as normal and attach the label to your inbound letter

YKsamuel - UKBA called and asked me if I wish to use the SD envelope that I have enclosed in my application or they can post 2nd class or I could pay over the phone £7.22 and have the passport sent SD. So i opted to pay and lady took my card details and provided me with tracking No. Passport arrived next day. Good luck all and will keep you posted on my progress.

You should have received a information letter from NCS, it has local NCS enquiry number. Call that number and tell them you would like to get Royal Mail's tracking number for your application.

You can then use that number on Royal Mail's website to see when the application was received.
