child british citizenship - referee

Post by happypie » Tue Sep 28, 2021 8:23 pm

Hi,
I am in process of applying british citizenship for my child.
I have filled application form and have biometric in 2 weeks time.
I filled two of my friends as referees - both are british nationals and software professionals, working in well respected companies.

However on referee form, it says -

For a child application one referee should be someone who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a doctor, teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion. The other referee must be the holder of a British citizen passport, and either a professional person or over the age of 25.


Now none of my friend has really engaged with my child in a professional capacity as such. What can I do now?
Please help.

Thanks.

also as far as i remember, they didn't mention this clearly in the online form. there it was just mentioed that provide 2 referees details with few rules like they shouldn't be relative, they should know applicant etc.
i am not 100% certain about it though.
