Hi! I recently had my citizenship ceremony and am now applying for a passport. Apparently I need someone to confirm my identity and it is similar requirements as the referee for British citizenship except an added thing of needing a current passport, which I phoned and they confirmed it must not be ...

Thank you!

wish_uk Please make your own post for this as this is my thread.

My original question:
Hi, is there a number/email I can contact to check the status of my citizenship application? I couldnt seem to find one on here, so sorry if this has already been asked many times. Thanks

Thanks!

I was sent an email to say I can not book an appointment and need to wait to see if I can use the app. I have uploaded my documents on the Sopra UKVCAS website, should I submit them or must they be submitted on the app only?

Hi, if anyone has any advice on the above.

Also, when uploading documents for BC, where would I put my ILR BRP(residence or proof of identity?), old passport, spouse passport, referee declarations and consent forms? Thanks

Another question following on from the above, my one referee is moving two weeks after I apply, do I need to ask for their new address or is it fine as long as I apply before they move? Thanks!

Thanks!

One of my referees has taken two pictures of their declaration and stitched them together into a pdf document. They dont currently have a scanner, I assume this is ok as long as all information can be seen?

The other Referee sent theirs through as a Jpeg which I think is accepted?

I will be applying this week, if someone can just let me know if I am missing anything. British Citizenship - married to British citizen. -My current passport - full scans -My two previous passports - full scans -My BRP for ILR -IELTS B1 certificate -Life in the UK reference number/email -Marriage C...

Thanks AmazonianX!

Unfortunately I cannot get someone else, its not that easy for me. I will try contact Gov.uk.
Thanks

Thanks everyone! My two previous passports have been cancelled, and I have had my current one for 5.5 years but I may just upload my current one and both previous, just to be sure. Last question for now: 3)One of my referees is British but her passport is expired, is supplying an expired passport nu...

Thanks. If anyone can answer the questions that the above person was unsure on, would be appreciated! 3)One of my referees is British but her passport is expired, is supplying an expired passport number still fine? 4)Do I need to supply all passports I have used since moving to the UK (10 years ago)...

Thank you very much! I have a few more questions: 1)I do not remember the exact start/finish dates of the jobs I had in the UK due to them being around 8 years ago, can I give estimates? 2)Can I send a scanned copy of my declaration with my photo to the Referee? and if so, can they scan the signed o...

Hi, I am now starting the process to apply for citizenship. I have some questions to begin: 1) On my previous acceptance letters for my spouse visa's, I only have a case ID and not a reference number. Can I use the case ID? 2) If I apply and then go on holiday in a few months, is it an issue if they...

Hi again, when uploading documents it asked me to put my current passport in proof of application. When looking at the list of where to put documents it also says most current passport in proof of identity. Do I put it in both? Do I put proof of relationship (bills) in evidence of residence? I do no...

Thanks! Does Home office only begin to process documents after you have been to your appointment?

I am correct in thinking I dont need to pay NHS Surcharge for ILR? Thanks

Hi, I have two previous passports that I have used to travel to the UK with. One of them before I even lived here. Do I need to scan all pages of both or just the passport page?

Thanks for the reply! In regards to my husbands work documents, can they send through scanned copies of the employer letter, signed payslips etc or do I need to ask them to post me the originals? Clear scanned and uploaded copies is what is needed for application so no need to ask for original. Do ...

Also my passport was stained by soy sauce, I wont be able to get a new one in time as its from South Africa. The stain is only along the edges of each page and does not affect the passport photo page. Will this be ok?

Thanks for the reply!

Hi, I have gone through the application. I am at the pay screen, I haven't had an option to upload my documents yet. Is this done after payment?

I just need to 100% check:
I applied for my first marriage visa within the UK and my BRP was issued on the 05-10-2016.
I am right to assume that I can apply for my ILR now?
Thanks

Ok, I assume then that if I was issued my first marriage visa on the 05 - 10 - 2016 then applying after the 05-10-2021 up until 05-11-2021(end of visa) is all good. So looking through my documents, I believe this is pretty similar to my second marriage visa extension apart from needing a B1 test and...
