Naturalisation application - Referees & Employment

[skreddy]

Hello all,
We are in the process of applying naturalisation.
Few queries, please if you could answer...

1. Referees - I have friends Software Developers both & both British, is it okay they sign or need one of them is an Accountant or Solicitor etc.

2. My wife worked back in 2015 for 6months, after we had kids she never worked.
So, I believe in the employment section, she should leave it blank or put as housewife?

3. She lost her payslips for her employment back in 2015, is it compulsory to send payslips? She doesn’t have P45 or P60 either.
She has access to HMRC online Tax Account, the downloaded documents which show Tax and NI paid for this employment, is that okay?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you
SK

One needs to be a professional, see page 24 on in this document for acceptable professions: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 1.0EXT.pdf

Show the employment details and remainder as Housewife/Unemployed - not an issue.

3. She lost her payslips for her employment back in 2015, is it compulsory to send payslips? She doesn’t have P45 or P60 either.

As you are on UK ILR all that's needed are your passport(s) covering the residency period (5 years back from the application date).

Your help is much appreciated.
