Queries Related to Naturalization - Online + JCAP

[masroorahmed]

Hi Friends - I'm in process of applying for Naturalization along with passport using JPAC +NDRS service. Based on my current status of online application process, I have the following questions:

1. In regards with the absence, do we need to go back as far as 5 years? It's not mentioned in the online form stating absence needs to be filled only for last 5 years.
2. In regards with the residency proof - Do they only check for last 5 years? We don't have old passport going back more than 5 years so we cannot show stamping for more than 5 years old.
3. In regards with the referee for my daughter, can we get it from her religious teacher/institution as she has been enrolled for last 4 years?
4. In regards with the photo's - How many photos are required in total? 3 for Naturalisation & 2 for passport?
In regards with the passport application - do we use the paper form available from Post office?

Would be really grateful to get your response/feedback.

Regards,
Mas

Hi All, Regarding the question of previous application - I don't have all the information as I was on Work Permit & then Tier 2 ICT processed by my Company. What Do I fill in that section? Please suggest as I'm currently in that section & cannot move forward without completing the section.
