Employer letters for naturalisation application

[Husamettin2001]

Hi,

I came to the UK in 2013 as a post-doc, and stayed with a Tier 2 visa. In February 2019 I qualified the indefinite leave to remain (ILR). For the last 6 months I left the university and have started to work for a company. It has been a year since I got my ILR and now am eligible to apply for citizenship (naturalisation). I read the Naturalisation Booklet on Home Office website, buy I am a bit confused about required documents:
For Proof of living in the UK:
- Do I have to ask my old employers to prove that I have been employed (actually I have done this a year ago while applying to ILR)?
- I have my all payslips and P60s, are these documents sufficient to prove that I have been in the UK?
- Or just my current BRP and my passport is sufficient to prove that I have been in the UK?

Thank you very much in advance,
Husam

No.

Not required.

All your passports covering the time in UK etc.

Hi,

In 2014 I started to work in the UK as a post-doc with a Tier 2 General Sponsor Visa. A year ago I obtained indefinite leave to remain (ILR), and 6 months ago I left my job in academy and started working for a company. Soon I want to apply for citizenship, and I read the document "Form AN Application for naturalisation as a British citizen". I have my BRP, Life in the UK and IELTS Language results (both LUK and IELTS results were used for ILR application). I have a question related to the SECTION 10 of the form, "Evidence of National Insurance contributions covering the relevant period". I have copies of my all P60s and payslips, since I have started working in the UK. In the final line of this section it asks for letters from employer(s):
- Is it sufficient to bring a letter from my current employer or do I have to ask my all past employers for letters?

Thank you very much for your help in advance,
Husam

Asking the same questions gain after 3 days will not change the advice already give previously.

Employers letters are NOT required, neither are P60s or payslips!!!

@CR001: Why all passports covering the OP's time and not only the passports covering the last 5 years, only? Am I missing something?

Passport used to enter the UK is usually asked for. If op only has one passport then it will obvs cover his whole time.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your response, and my apologies for re-sending this. I was a bit frantic at work, and not sure if I sent this 3 days ago. I checked my email and didn't notice any response, and thought that "probably I forgot to post it on Friday". Again, I am sorry and thank you very much for your help.

Kind regards,
Husam

Oh, I thought the requirement is to prove residence during the last 5 years and hence one needs to provide a passport covering the last 5 years.
For passport applications, they normally ask for passport used to enter the UK for the first time.
