Nationality Checking Service

Note: Due to high demand it is very difficult to reach us by telephone at the moment. We are able to see between ten and twenty appointments a day, on Monday 23 March we had more than 150 applications for these appointments. We will do our best to help you but are already working at full capacity. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Please remember you can use any office which offers this service, or can send applications to the Home Office without using the checking service (see the Home Office website in the external links section below).

This service includes:

making sure your application is correctly filled in
checking, copying and certifying your documents so that you can keep originals
(NB Original Life in UK test, ESOL or medical reports must be sent)

Please note, that if you fail to bring any of the relevant documents, you will be required to book another appointment.

You need an appointment to use the Checking Service. Applicants should come into the Register Office or call on 020 8489 2604 / 2605 to make an appointment.
