How we can help

If you are applying to become a British citizen we can help you with our nationality checking service.

Our specially trained and accredited staff can check your completed application form and then copy and certify all your original documents such as passports and birth certificates.

This means that you can retain your original documents while your application is being considered at the Home Office.
