Biometric appointment for British citizenship application

Hi everyone

We have just submitted my wife's UK citizenship application online. At the end of her application there was one screen where it says "SSC customers whose biometrics can be reused will receive instructions via email and will be not required to book an appointment".

I remember we wait for atleast 5 months for an HO biometric email during her ilr application but never recieved one. After such a long wait, we paid £90 for the appointment to do her biometrics.

So the question is my wife only received her ilr 2 weeks ago. I'm british citizen. She did her last biometric for her ilr on the 7th March.
So shall I book her another biometric appointment once again (paid are available)or do they really send an email of no need of your biometrics?

Thanks all for your input/advice in advance...

You have to book an appointment again.

Thankyou soo much for a quick response.

One more question in regards to the referees forms. Do I have to upload them under "other documents tab" or do we need to provide the originals at the biometric appointment? Thanks once again

Upload them once signed. Other tab is fine.
