Fully online upload for naturalisation?

Post by hoot08 » Sat Apr 22, 2023 1:00 pm

Hey all

Applying for naturalisation after spouse 5 route and have obtained my ILR

Are all the documents including referee forms to be uploaded online?

Just passport and BRP for identity purposes, if you upload everything, including passport and BRP, yourself.

Hey thanks

a different question - the AN referee form is now different to a copy i had before, the template of the box is larger in the newer. i assume the photo should still be the normal passport size? just i noticed it does not cover the whole box like the previous one

thanks any advice is appreciated

appears the font size has also increased along with the photo box, this is why. but home office can refuse application based on anything hence why i am worried

You're overthinking. An application is refused if you do not meet the requirements. Not because a form is bigger font and box.

In matters of identity confirmation or referenci g to my knowledge full names of any party on the form is required. Ask referee to fill a new one or amend lest this be a reason why you will delay your application's progress.

I am also at this stage and really worried about scanning the documents. Will the quality, size be good enough etc.
Do they also need to have the referee copies at the biometric appoinment or do you keep the originals?
Any other useful tips?
