Supporting Documents for Naturalisation application

[prasnna]

Hi Folks,

I'll be submitting my application for BC with my wife, and I am taking following documents. Please let us know if they are sufficient:

1. AN form with payment slip
2. Our passports (with ILR stamp)
3. Photographs
4. Life in UK certificates
5. Driving licence with counter part (for me)
6. My P60s + salary slips (6 months)
7. Bank statements (with our joint names - 6 months)
8. Address proof - latest council tax statement and Water bill (Both on my name)

Query - Does it require any address proof for my wife name also?

Do we need to carry any more documents?

Thanks
Prasnna

Prasnna,

1. ok
2. if you need to travel you can get your originals back from NCS if you use them or even if you apply through solicitors.

3. Photos fine.
4. Life in UK original a must.
5. Not sure why you are submitting it. if you used this as the identity doc for Life in UK then yes.
6.P60's of past 5 years is fine. Payslips is Overkill.
7.Not required unless you want someone to steal your identity.
8. Not required.
9. If you want you can carry your, birth certificate, marriage certificate, school leaving certificate, first letter sent to your wife....... LOL the list is endless. Jokes apart the documents you need are mentioned on page 15 of the Form AN.

do give it a reading. Also its pretty exciting when you reach the final leg of your migration journey and you get butterflies inside. its natural. but please do take extra care with your documents. Do not provide anything not required. The idiots might end up making it a precedent for others.Good Luck.
cheers

Thanks Vr, you are spot-on about butterflies!

So I take it that I don't need any address proof docs for my wife.

One query, Is there any time restriction on person signing as countersignatory to have become BC like 3 yrs or 5 yrs. I know about "have known the person applying for at least 2 years".

Many Thanks
Prasnna

the documents below should be sufficient:

1. Form AN + payment slip
2. Photos
3. LIUK Original Certificate
4.Passports and BRPs etc


unless you are self employed you don't need P60, bank statements etc anyway if I am correct.

[prasnna]

Thanks innocentdevil,

Is BRP = British Residencel Permit, in that case we have ILR stamp on our passports.

Regards,
Prasnna

[innocentdevil]

yes thats what it is. If you have ILR on your passports then thats fine.

Keep it simple no need to submit the documents that are asked for.

Documents about salary etc are only need if one is self employed or applying under EEA treaty etc so wouldn't include those.

Cheers innocentdevil,

I just got couple of queries:

a) In section 3, as I am working for a company I'll be providing info for 3.1 to 3.4 data fields. Do I need to provide info on 3.5 - address of tax office or tax office reference?

b) Also I got a query for 1.1 - Is it applicable to me, as I got my ILR based on Workpermit and I am providing Passport number in 1.2. If yes where will be this numbers?

c) Do I need to put a cross in 6.6 as it says in the form with an * Delete if not applicable.

Many Thanks,
Prasnna

Thanks a lot for all your help. I've submitted my application and 4 documents above (as I am an employee) were all that were required.

Just to share one info with other members: Section 1.1 Reference number is to be filled only if you are in talks with Home office/Border Agency about you BC application and have exchanged any letters etc, then you need to put that ref number here.

I left 1.1 as blank in my form.

Thanks a lot.

[prasnna]

All,

Thanks a lot for your valuable advice, we received our invitation letter this week.

The whole process took 5 weeks.

In the letter they have asked us to go through the guideance notes for attending the ceremony, is it the same document which we have read about filling the BC form, if it is not could you please send us the link to that document.

Thanks a lot again for all your help.

Do you need to provide info on 3.5 - address of tax office or tax office reference?

[prasnna]

Do you need to provide info on 3.5 - address of tax office or tax office reference?

Yes I did provide (as I work as an employee). You can get this info from your HR/ finance dept. I just filled my tax reference number and took the address with me for NCS, but they didn't ask to fill the address.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for advice. I guess it helps quite a lot to use services of NCS.

Thanks for advice. I guess it helps quite a lot to use services of NCS.

It just gives you peace of mind to be honest. They just quickly scan through the form and the supporting documents.

If you have any queries - please note down in a piece of paper and take it with you; as you tend to forget your queries once you are in the room.

Once you have done that you are sure that at least the supporting papers and form is fine at the time of submitting them.
