Re: Referee address on AN form

One of my referees used his home address while the other used his work address and I didn't have any problem having my application approved. I am not sure it matters as long as they can be contacted if need be. Seniors on the forum can advise better if I am wrong.

Re: Ceremony Letter

It should come from the local council whose details you filled in your form. A quick question for you, which may not be directly related to what the OP needs, but thought I'd ask. I've just filled my form which I'm due to submit next week. However I've not seen anywhere to fill in local council det...
