Referee signature 2 months old

[waitingfornow]

Hi everyone,

I’m due to apply for naturalisation on April 8 2023 and have gotten my referee signatures dated Feb 17th 2023 because both referees are going on holiday around the time of my application.

Apologies I do see this question has been asked before and the answer was the date of the referee form signature is okay if within a few weeks from application date but I just want to know from anyone who had applied with referee signatures more than a month old - similar to my situation and still got their application approved?

Please can someone who actually submitted referee signature more than a month old from their application reply so I can get peace of mind?


Thank you so much

I read your post earlier about using referee signed forms from 3 months before your application - please could you confirm if that was accepted by the home office?

Would really appreciate a response thanks

Haven't come across applicants having issues with date of referee declarations.
Sometimes UKVI may ask for another referee if not suitable, again fairly rare.
The user you mention has already received his/her ceremony letter!

Thanks alterhase58 - I was wondering if home office asked for recent signed forms or accepted the old ones hopefully it works out for me.
