No GP's are no longer accepted, click here please.hsmp_apr2010 wrote:Hi All,
I am planning to register my 3 year old child as British citizen under section 1(3) as she was born in the UK before I was granted my ILR.
I had query regarding professional standing reference.
The guide states:
"One referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing,
such as a minister of religion, civil servant or a member of a professional body, e.g.
accountant or solicitor (but not representing you with this application). A list of
acceptable professional persons can be found on our website.
The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a
professional person or over the age of 25."
The local GP at the surgery has agreed to provide his reference. Now I went through the list of acceptable professional persons and I can't find GP in the list.
In your opinion can GP at the surgery can be a referee of professional standing and can sign the form?
Many thanks
Rohit
Personally I would not recommend anything which is now forbidden as per vinny's post here. One lucky/lenient instance must not be taken as rule. Because Naturalisation depends upon Caseworker's view so it is possible they delay Rohit's sent application.params0073 wrote:GP are not accepted but I used GP for registering my daughter as British (MN1) in Feb 2015.So Looks like they are more lenient towards kids.
So if you have any other referee from the accepted list then use that otherwise you can use GP.If they(HO) have any doubts they will write to you asking another referee.

Again, personally I would not use something which is not in explicit list, even though its not exhaustive GP were removed as per vinny's link.hsmp_apr2010 wrote:Thank you everyone. Is there a phone number or email for the Home office where I can get in touch and ask about this?

Please see section 6.3.7.4 in this link then please see Annex A in this link.t123456789 wrote:Doctor is fine or any professional is fine. The worst case scenario is they'll ask for an alternative reference.
