The Registration and Celebratory Services Team, in partnership with the Home Office, are pleased to provide a Nationality Checking Service at the Register Office, Cleethorpes Town Hall. Use of this service is optional.
For a fee the designated officer will check that your application for British Nationality is completed correctly and is supported with all the appropriate supporting documents. The officer at the Register Office will photocopy and certify the documentation. This will usually allow you to retain your original documentation such as passports. The completed application will then be submitted to the Home Office by Special Delivery post.
Applicants for this service, before booking an appointment, must ensure they meet three main criteria:
- they satisfy the appropriate residential qualification dependent upon the section of the Immigration Act under which they are applying
- they have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain in the United Kingdom
- they have proficiency in English language.
Please note: the designated officer will not be able to give advice about nationality matters. If you require advice locally you can contact the Grimsby Citizens Advice Bureau, 4 Town Hall Street, Grimsby - telephone 0870 120 2427 - lines are open from 8.30 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday.
