life in uk test

Post by mariop10 » Sat May 18, 2019 3:49 pm

hi
please can you give me advice. today 18 may i passed the life in UK test at Hammersmith London. but then i realised that on the certificate the names have been swapped around. my first name as my surname and my surname as my first name. is this a problem? i already have settle status. Now i want to apply for British passport. why the centre allow me to take the test when they verified my identity. please can you give me advice got i can do. i tried to email learndirect the provider but the email is not valid. I will send a email to the PSI to see if i need to retake the test. Please if anyone add the same problem can you share your experience on how you sorted it out.
thank

hi
im planning to apply online for British citizenship by naturalisation. i already have indefinitely settle status. please i need some clarification. do i need to send my passport? since they already verify my passport it when i applied for settle status through the mobile phone apk?
also for the life in uk test i used my driving licence, on the application says that should send the document that i booked the life in uk test, so which document should i send: passport or driving licence? Also do i need to send the original copy my degree and the life in uk pass test or just the reference number. On the life in uk test certificate they made an error by swapped my names around, first name as surname, all other information are right. do i have to retake the test?
thanks

Settled Status application is different from naturalisation!
Your passport is required for naturalisation - you scan it during the online application process and show it at your appointment - you will retain all your originals.
Passport is sufficient, DL not required, even though you used it for the LITUK. Your UK Degree certificate can also be scanned with the application, as well as LITUK pass. I guess you will be fine - you could attach an explanation.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Did you apply for settled status through the EU scheme?

Are you married to a British citizen?
