Is it possible to change a referee after submitted the application?

Post by Galaa » Wed May 17, 2023 8:03 pm

Hi All,

My son has submitted his British citizenship application and is a Sixth Form student. Typically, the Sixth Form head would be the most convenient person to be a referee but she has refused to give me her passport number and date of birth so I have named two family friends as referees. However, I have found out that one of the referees must be a professional who has engaged with the child professionally.

Would it be possible to change a referee after submission?

Thanks in advance!

Get the appropriate referee ready, if one of your present referee is found unsuitable, HO will request of you to provide another.

Most people are reluctant to give their passport details and DOB to random folks. You can imagine a teacher having to give her passport details to 30 students every year. It just wouldn't work. I'm sure your referees would be fine.

No sin in failing, you just have to try and try again!
