My understanding is that 'Doctor' refers to the medical type, but stand to be corrected. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/118548/titles-included-in-passports.pdf I don't think that's true. This document states that it's for "Medical and other doctorates...

After a successful naturalisation, I recently applied for a passport and received it a couple of weeks ago. However, there is a small thing that bugs me. I have a PhD, and therefore put my title as Doctor on the form. According to the official guidance for the official observations section, this is ...

Why not ask one of the referees who signed your AN application? That would be a bit problematic. My BC application was signed by my PhD supervisor, but now that my PhD is finished it wouldn't be so easy.

After securing my citizenship, I am now trying to apply for a passport. However, I can't seem to find a suitable person to countersign the application form.

Hi, I just got off from a phonecall with a council worker who claims I cannot claim Housing Benefit as an EEA national who's a permanent resident in UK, citing that according to new rules, only people who have a genuine and effective work can claim (I currently don't). Indeed, it appears that rules ...

1. I have a bachelor and masters degree from a UK university. Is it absolutely necessary to attach an actual degree certificate? I have stamped and signed letters from my university confirming my degrees. I'm not using NCS, and I'd prefer to avoid sending the actual certificate (apparently the univ...

I'm about to send off my AN form and I have a couple of questions: 1. I have a bachelor and masters degree from a UK university. Is it absolutely necessary to attach an actual degree certificate? I have stamped and signed letters from my university confirming my degrees. I'm not using NCS, and I'd p...
