Dunno, it could be the third option of midnight on NYE. Have a read of this and make your own conclusions.

This backs up my theory that it could be effective from 1st January. Prior to NYE it’s often said that ‘Joe Bloggs is to be knighted’ and come 5th Jan Blair is already referred to as, but without having the ceremony.

Is she allowed to nominate you though?

On a more serious note, I have had same experience in nominating someone and posting info only to be told they aren’t opening mail because all working from home.

I’d like to be a Baron so everyone will have to call me Baron Darran.

You’re not officially a ‘Sir’ till you’ve been tapped on the shoulder.
