Seems there is going to be a slight change in the FLR application procedure from 22 June 2006; the new form can be downloaded from here.
No major changes that I can see, just the following:
(1) It includes civil partners and same-sex unmarried partners.
(2) Forms are sent to Durham instead of Cannock.
(3) The fee is still £335 for postal applications.
(4) Need to provide card security number if paying by card.
(5) Precise details of the format of photos.
(6) Change in procedure if you need to get your passport/docs back urgently. Also, "Your application will be treated as withdrawn if your passport is returned for travel abroad before your application can be decided."
(7) Opening hours for PEOs have changed.
(8) Data Protection Notice section no longer has missing text!
(9) Need to provide applicant's full name and surname.
(10) Personal History section replaces Additional Questions section, and now relates to applicant and dependants.
(11) A note that information from the form may be passed to the police.
