Referee signature in Naturalization application

[samuk2021]

Dear all
Could you please with following queries?

I have a query with respect to signatures of the referee. I am bit confused here.

Do we need to paste our photo and the referees need to sign over the photo , starting in the middle of the photo and then outside the box? or only the signature at the end of the form is fine?

The reason I ask is, due to lockdown I cant meet them , but need to post the forms for them to sign..
so need clarity ..

Also after I submit my biometrics, can I travel outside UK due to personal reasons? is it after the approval I can travel or only after cermony and passport I should ? with the current circumstance we don't know wen it will be approved, followed by cermony etc.. thats why asking ..

Thanks a lot for replies.

Sam

On the back of the applicant’s photograph, please write their full name and date of birth. The photograph should then be glued into the space aside.

You are free to travel on ILR BRP before you attend your ceremony and become British ( adults become British on ceremony date not approval only).
