  • Check that all relevant documents are present;
  • Check that the correct fee has been submitted;
  • Photocopy valuable documents, such as passports and marriage certificates. Collect in and submit Life in the UK certificates and other evidence of competence in the English language;
  • Certify the copies and return the originals to you;
  • Forward applications to the Nationality Group by special delivery.
