You have to apply first for AN application. Once that is approved and you attend a ceremony, only then you can apply for a British Passport. Read the guidance above to start with.

You need to download the referee forms, print and get the signature on the declaration form. You only input referee details in the online form and submit.

Yes you can upload and self-submit even before biometrics. Look out for UKVCAS flash message for closures.

Respected Members,
Thanks a lot for your kind help & support. I submitted my online application for my naturalisation on 3rd Dec 2020 and received appointment date at 13 Jan 2021. Before 13 Jan 2021 I got COVID-19 and remain in hospital after that I got biometric appointment on 24/02/2021. Do I need to upload my documents again or leave it because I have already uploaded my documents before 13 JAN 2021.
Kind Regards
Abacus
