FAQ 092 Do I do 528 (one page declaration ) and 928 separately?

Nov 23, 2025
Answer 092
You have to do 528 first, and it always needs to be done. It has photo ID!
You can do the 928 pack at the same time however.
 
(There is no need to do more than 528's, If  you are not holding office and not challenging paperwork etc.)
 
Note the 928's are required; if you are assisting in a role on TECA see FAQ 075 and want to do 'lawful challenges.'
Forms should go in sequence when recording and sending to foreign secretary 'etal'

When we were kids we always had "the long way" and "the short way" home, depending on

whether we wanted to dawdle and talk and toss rocks, or maybe swing by the drug store for a

soda pop on the way home, or instead, wanted to take the short way and get home right away.

Since then, I have learned that there is a short way and a long way to darn near everything.

Including the paperwork needed to declare your birthright political status.

 

There's the 928 Process, which is as valid and detailed and comprehensive as a full metal flak

jacket,as we say ‘coat of armour’ takes over a dozen different recordings and actions, and can take three months to complete.

And there's the 528 English Declaration and Witness Statements Process, which requires four pieces of paper and a single recording that can be done in almost no time. Of course, it just covers the basics, but it "conveys" people home.

 

It's the difference between taking a luxury cruise liner into dock, or arriving aboard a life raft.

Both will get you to solid ground, but it's up to you to decide what level of effort and protection

and detail is best for you.

The 528 English Declaration and Witness Statements process is the fastest way home.

 

We encourage everyone to look over the other available documents to see what else you may

need or like. For example--- England Citizens will want to cancel Voter Registrations. see FAQ 049

Both County Citizens and English Nationals who were in the military and who want to live as civilians with no further attachment will need to send a Severance Letter.

 

Most people will also want to Cancel All Prior Powers of Attorney.

Parents will want to record when and where their children are born.

So while the 528 Declaration will get you home, there still may be "chores" to do to clean up the

loose strings and issues of a lifetime spent (unknowingly) abroad, wandering around in the Federal

England.

 

Understandably, some people who have already gone through the 928 Process are disgusted to

learn that they have to fill out the 528 English Declaration and Witness Statements if they want to get the new Credential IDs cards . This is because the 928 Process doesn't provide for photo ID. That is one thing it has never done.

 

The 528 Process does.

The 528 Declaration not only conveys you home to the land and soil, it allows production of the

County assembly Credentials that identify you as an English. No more hassles or presumptions about your political status. No more inane arguments with judges and attorneys and politicians.

 

From the perspective of those who did the 928 Process it is three more pieces of paper to do in

order to get your County Credentials, but going forward, the 528 Declaration will convey millions of people home and give them the credentials they need to be properly identified as English ---

either County Nationals or County Citizens.

 

That's a mighty work for only three pages of paper to do.
