Re: Online application - referees

At the end of the online application you download and print off a form for each reference which they need to sign. You don't need photos of the references, but you do need to stick your photo to the reference form.

Last thing I want is for my application to be delayed due to a error on their part!

Is there someway to send them the form before they contact you in order to avoid the delay?

Damn, wish I'd known this. Online checklist is still missing this. :cry:

The person taking the documents at NCRS didn't even say anything!

along with all other documents required to your preferred office within 10 or 15 days.
I will be following this same route shortly. Is the 10 or 15 days documented anywhere?
Is it best to book appointment, and then complete online application and get referees to sign documents?

Find a service centre close to your area. Maybe London or Croydon?

Issue is these might all be fully booked already. Seems a very hit and miss affair to get bookings so you might need to travel to one that has a opening.
