Yes, this is not an issue.
None of the documents you supply are original, not even your passport; it's all digital copies, all uploaded to the UKVCS site, so scanned documents are ok, and sometimes even the only way to do it.2)Can I send a scanned copy of my declaration with my photo to the Referee? and if so, can they scan the signed one back to me or does any of these need to be original?
I will let some one else with first-hand experience answer this.3)One of my referees is British but her passport is expired, is supplying an expired passport number still fine?
Actually I'm not really sure. I think only passports covering the relevant period, but I'll let others answer this.4)Do I need to supply all passports I have used since moving to the UK (10 years ago) or only one that is covering the last 3 years?
Don't think this too much, fill in the fields accordingly. ILR is obviously indefinite.5)My ILR biometric permit has an expiry of 31/12/2024, I read this is due to them changing them after this point. But just wanted to check I need to put this as the date even though it is ILR
Actually I can answer this now, now that I have checked what applied to my case. I had to supply only passports covering the relevant period, in my case 5 years. I have had 3-4 passports since I moved into the UK, but my solicitors only asked for the last two, which cover the last 5 years. So if you are applying as spouse of British citizen, then passports covering the last 3 years.
I beg to differ on this one. If the OP has been in the UK for 10 years, the he/she would need more than their current passport. Remember that you need to submit the passport used in entering the UK for the first time (if uncancelled). Regardless it makes you sleep better at night if you do just that.kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 1:27 pmActually I can answer this now, now that I have checked what applied to my case.

I've been in the UK for over 12 years myself and only had to submit passports covering the relevant period.Ticktack wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 2:30 pmI beg to differ on this one.

True that. However at the end of the form, it would tell OP what it needs to satisfy all requirements. But yes, you're 110% correct!kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 2:35 pmI've been in the UK for over 12 years myself and only had to submit passports covering the relevant period.Ticktack wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 2:30 pmI beg to differ on this one.

This is not ILR we are talking about, this is citizenship. Relevant lawful residence needs to be proven for either 5 years (most applicants) or 3 years (spouses of British citizens). Full residence since entry would have been already proven when applying for ILR.
The requirement is that one of your referees must hold a British passport. There's no clarity if it should be valid. But I personally would want to lean towards a valid document.Riori wrote: ↑Thu Mar 31, 2022 3:31 pmThanks everyone!
My two previous passports have been cancelled, and I have had my current one for 5.5 years but I may just upload my current one and both previous, just to be sure.
Last question for now:
3)One of my referees is British but her passport is expired, is supplying an expired passport number still fine?
(I have so far read on random sites that it should be fine as it will still prove she is British and that's all they care about but haven't found a concrete answer yet)
The expiration of the passport does not invalidate the referee's British citizenship. Though expired, the details on it can still be used to verify their BC status.
This is NOT required.-Divorce Certificate (previous marriage)
This is NOT required.-Unabridged birth certificate - showing parents details
Re: Referee new address, it's probably best to give their new address, or even work address.
Wait to know which youv are to use snd upload as appropriate.
