Question: Is this correct link for application fee, shall i write £1282 in last fee form?

I want to apply through NCS , I will apply with my passport application, do i have to pay passport fee separately?
Your link doesn't work. Fee sheet for AN application is last page in link below.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... t_2017.pdf

Passport fee sheet is the last page in the guidance booklet you get with the form, they come together in one envelope.

I believe it is three, but not 100% sure as the joint service wasn't available when I applied in 2012.

You can but not needed. Handy to have I suppose just in case.
If i need to send them my trinity college - English lang certificate and life in the UK certificate, i want them to return back to me, that's why asking for return envelop.
They won't be returned to you as you won't need them again. Suggest keep copies for yourself.

Hi gurus and CR001

Can a director of a limited company act as a referee for naturalisation purpose? but not VAT registered

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 1.0EXT.pdf

chairman or director of limited company

this is mentioned in list, but i am confuse if they want director of limited company + VAT registered.

The current list, which gets updated from time to time, clearly states:
Chairman/director of
limited company
No mention of VAT registered until this one, which likely refers to LLP or Plc companies:
Director/Manager/Personnel
Officer of a VAT
registered Company

Not if it is the date of your BRP. That would be different to your premium appointment date or the date you enrolled at Post Office.
