Hi Folks,

I am currently filling up the application for naturalization form online which includes my son ( child born in UK )
I am aware that the paper version and guidance mentioned:

One referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health visitor, social worker or minister of religion. The other referee must normally be the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25.

However when I am now filling it online it doesn't mention anything like this for the child application , the referee requirements are shown same as AN1 (adult) applications?

Anyone knows anything about this change, not sure if its a mistake.
Is it OK to just give adult referees instead of chasing the school or GP for a child referee ?

Ok, I got my answer when I printed off the declaration ; the referee requirements for a child have not changed.
Will try the school.
