Referee - Director of a Non VAT Registered Company

Post by Nash82 » Tue Dec 19, 2023 1:08 pm

Hi All,

We are putting British Naturalisation Application for my step daughter.

We are little confused in the referee section.

We have 1 referee who is a British National over the age of 25.

Second referee is a Director of a Limited Company but his company is not VAT Registered. Would this suffice under the professional referee category?

Thanks

What profession is the Director?
Any on the list of accepted professions?

His Profession (Nature of Business) is Office Administration Services.

I believe he would fall under the category of “Chairman or Director of a Limited Company” ?

No, because as you state in your first post, the company isn't VAT registered.

Yes, I did but after reviewing the professional list on page 24, it has 2 categories of a Director:

- Chairman or Director of a Limited Company
- Director, Manager or Personnel Officer of a VAT registered company.

I believe he falls under the category as Director of a Limited Category.

Please suggest.

You need to confirm with them they hold the position of Director and that it is a limited company. If that is the case, then the guidance says it is accepted.

I have cross checked the details on Companies House and it is a Ltd company and he is Director.

Thanks
