Nationality checking service

We offer a checking service to assist people who want to apply for British Citizenship. The aim of the service is to help reduce unnecessary delays in the process of applying for British Citizenship.

As part of the service we will:

  • Ensure that your application form is completed correctly.
  • Check, copy and certify your passport and other original documents.
  • Make sure that you have enclosed the right payment.
  • Send your application safely and quickly to the Home Office by guaranteed next day delivery.

Our Team is registered with the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner (OISC) and will give you a fast, efficient, and friendly service.

You do not have to use us – you can apply direct to the Home Office or use a solicitor or other agent.  But if you do, make sure they are properly qualified to give you advice, and are registered with the OISC.  (Solicitors and others registered with the Law Society do not have to be registered with the OISC).

How do I book my appointment?

The nationality checking service operates on an appointment only basis. To make your appointment please contact the Liverpool National Checking Service on 0151 225 5715.

Your appointment will take up to 90 minutes depending on how many people are applying.  When you come in for your appointment you must:
