It doesn't matter. You really are overthinking this completely.
This is the wording on the UKVCAS website documents upload page:
This page lists all documents from your Access UK Document Checklist. These are the documents needed for your application. You can upload on this page.

Yeah the interface looks different to previous version I saw at spouse visa extension. Basically has the exact names replicated from supporting documents checklist and has upload button next to each one.

In the past there were categories like other, finance etc.

I did scans of passport previously 2 years back and the passport has not changed so I want to use those scans to save time. Is this ok or do I need to redo the scans. Only reason I ask is if caseworker downloaded and clicked properties date of scan would show 2021??

As said before, what matters most is for you to upload all relevant supporting documents.

I am just anxious as I recall it used to have categories such as life events, finance etc buthe form is totally different now. Your right I am overthinking!

I booked super priority. However biometrics booking is standard one, can I check this is fine as guessing biometrics standard has nothing to do with super priority??

Also it is only asking me for partner declaration only. On UKVCAS. I was told.previously there was othet declarations to fill in?

Super Priority service is a UKVI service. It has nothing to do with the third party UKCVAS appointment (not UKVI staff).
Also it is only asking me for partner declaration only. On UKVCAS. I was told.previously there was othet declarations to fill in?

Thank you.

When I completed my application I got the following:
You must download a copy of the family declaration form.

The form you have linked to seems different? the form they have asked me to complete is 1 page long only as seen by link?

The form is self explanatory and certainly not complicated. What is the issue? Just complete the form.

The declaration is separate to the consent for verification checks form!

it is just in the document checklist there is no mention of verification checks form that you have linked to?

I will complete both forms then as you suggest. Should I upload verification checks to other documents area on ukvcas?

Should I date them before the application date?

That date does not matter. It is just a printed form. You can print and sign at any time

A big thanks to everyone who has helped me patiently in this thread. Please to say I have nearly completed upload of supporting documents.i habe one query:

In the documents required for ILR, it states to provide All previous travel documents that have been used to travel to or remain in the UK.

The passport that was used to travel at first entry 5 years back is still the same passport now. Obviously the passport scans of all pages have been provided in 'current passport' section of supporting documents.

Should I provide the passport scans again for previous travel documents? I also have a picture of the old BRP (from spouse extension) that was sent back so should I provide scan of that?

BRPs are issued by UKVI. They do not need you to send them the document scans that they issued to you. Passports only covering your qualifying period should be sent

Sorry I might not be asking the qu correctly, should I upload my current passport into this section again then?

My passport has been uploaded into current passport section already. Or shall I keep previous travel documents etc section empty then?

Sorry But why as that is the same passport I am still using even now??

Surely previous passport is if I had used a different passport to gain entry?

I am saying you do not need to worry about where you upload your evidence. Anything uploaded will be seen. UVKI also does not care about your old passport
