Nationality Checking Service
What is the Nationality Checking Service?
The service is a partnership between the Home Office UK Border Agency and Local
Authorities in England and Wales.
Lincolnshire County Council is offering this optional service for anyone applying for
British nationality. Completed British nationality applications will be checked for accuracy
and all necessary documents will be photocopied, certified and sent in support of the
application.
This means that those using the service can keep their original valuable documents such
as passports and marriage certificates rather than sending them to the Home Office.
Benefits and Advantages of the Service
The Home Office will receive correctly completed applications and documentation,
avoiding unneccesary delays.
Original documents can be retained, rather than sending them to the Home Office.
The service ensures peace of mind for clients, that their application is complete, checked
for accuracy and sent by secure post direct to the Home Office.
