Not a qualified advice but you could scan the current one (2 sides) and print it off? As if you're applying online, at least for the "old"/existing system they were only interested in the original passport and mentioned everything else can be a copy. I would assume it should be similar in the new UKVCAS system too, I mean there you can simply upload the scan to the website.RJLK wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 12:00 amHi,
I am currently in Northern Ireland and got ILR already. I am gonna apply for Naturalisation on May 2019. I have used mainland (the GB) driving licence (DL) for the life in the UK test while I was in England. Unfortunately I have to exchange my DL to the Northern Ireland as they wont recognise DL issued in the GB. I have learnt from this forum that I have to provide the same evidence used for LITU when I apply for naturalisation. Will there be an issue in my naturalisation application if I provide Northern Ireland DL instead of GB DL (which was used for LIUK)?
Thanks
What about the point of using the same proof of ID for naturalisation which was used to take the Life in the UK Test, in this case UK driving licence?Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:45 amYou don't need your Driving Licence for citizenship. You'll need your ILR, passport, LITUK test result and proof of having lived here for the required period of time (if you're non-EEA past visas and the stamps in your passport would suffice). If you're married to a UK citizen, you'll need your partner's passport and proof of marriage as well.
Your passport serves as your proof of ID.Hioru wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 10:22 pmWhat about the point of using the same proof of ID for naturalisation which was used to take the Life in the UK Test, in this case UK driving licence?Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:45 amYou don't need your Driving Licence for citizenship.

So just to make sure I understand, you are advising to ignore the following part of the naturalisation guide and while going against the guide not to even add a note to the application to explain the reason for not providing what they ask you to provide?Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Sun Jan 20, 2019 9:42 amYour passport serves as your proof of ID.Hioru wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 10:22 pmWhat about the point of using the same proof of ID for naturalisation which was used to take the Life in the UK Test, in this case UK driving licence?Nerazzuri wrote: ↑Sat Jan 19, 2019 4:45 amYou don't need your Driving Licence for citizenship.
