IDV app?
« on: September 14, 2022, 01:31:16 PM »
We just applied for citizenship and rather than be invited to schedule biometrics, we are under consideration to use the IDV app? They said we would hear from them in 7-10 days.  I was hoping to schedule biometrics asap, how long is it taking these days for those who use this app instead?

If you use the app you dont need a biometrics appointment.  We got the App invitation 4 days after making the application but it was over a bank holiday.

I've written a whole reference doc on it here:

Good luck

Thanks! And was it pretty easy just to load up everything they wanted to see on a phone? My phone is super old and probably won't download this but my son has a newer iPhone.

How long did it take from application to citizenship ceremony for you?

My iphone has access to my desktop computer files and I had everything already in there so I found it easy.  I am, however, obsessively organised.
A less tech savvy friend also found it easy.
