You do not have to prove your travel history, you just list your dates in the application.
Only the passport(s) covering the residency period is required.

For the residency period I rely on settled status acquired in 2019. This will be enough? Or I need to submit the old expired passport?
Thank you again

Not quite sure what you mean - Settled status is a status, i.e. that you are legally resident in the UK.
However it doesn't prove residency, i.e. were you ordinarily resident in the UK. You should provide a P60 for each year, or perhaps Council Tax bills. Only official documents are accepted, not utility bills or bank statement.

because there is a new law says that since you get settled status you are ordinarily resident in Uk. 5 years is past since my settled status in 2019. now i think i am lawful resident after 5 years relying on settled status.

What "new law" are you referring to exactly?

Just having settled status is mot sufficient for naturalisation. You have to prove residence, ie that you have been present and settled!

you still need to prove residency. Maybe what you are referring to is that having settled status proves you were lawfully resident, but that is a separate requirement to being resident (as weird as it may sound). you need to provide P60s and/or official government letters.

Hello,
this was the law i mentioning before:
The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled that eligibility for NHS treatment does count as Comprehensive Sickness Insurance,
The case is C‑247/20 VI v Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs.
Once you have been granted pre-settled or settled status, you would be lawfully resident in the UK under that status.
There is no longer a requirement to exercise treaty rights, nor have CSI cover for any periods of studies or self-sufficiency, since these are not requirements under the EUSS.
That means applicants who did not meet the criteria of being "lawfully resident" under EU rules before being granted pre-settled or settled status, can apply for citizenship 3 or 5 years after being granted pre-settled or settled status, depending on whether they are married to a British spouse or not.
People who obtained pre-settled status before qualifying for settled status can start counting from the time they were granted pre-settled status, since they would have been lawfully resident under UK immigration rules from when they were granted this status.

This is exactly what I mean - this talks about LAWFUL residence rather than residence. You need to prove you have been resident in the UK as said above. I applied coming from the EUSS path and proved my residence after this rule was changed.

ok thank you for clarification.
I don`t have P60 for each year. i have council tax bills for each year and annual bank statements. this will be ok? which of this two is better that can i upload?
thank you again

Only one document per year, use P60 and Council tax. Statements not accepted or required. That’s all.

i have only council tax bill. is it ok?

It is uncertain if council tax bills are accepted. If you have been employed you can send a letter from your employer that confirms you worked there during the whole qualifying period (or letters from previous employers as appropriate) or you can request a SAR free of charge.

Ok thanks.
Today one my referee signed the declaration form but forgot to write his middle name in the full name section. Will this be a problem for the whole application?
Thanks

Most likely it won't be but you can ask them to sign a new form just to be sure.

In the application I have inserted correctly the middle name as well.
Only he forgot to write the middle name in the referee declaration form.
Hope it is not a big problem, because he is a little far from me for sign again.. are you agree with me?

Your referee can send you the newly signed form via email - no need for you to submit the original. As I explained above, it shouldn't be a problem, the HO would double check their details rather than reject your application outright.

Hello,
i will upload my documents tomorrow. As you know sopra steria service provider for ukvcas is changed, now is Tlscontact. The requirement for format, size and black and white or greyscale colour for uploading documents stayed the same or it has changed?
Thanks

Does the website have information? Try browsing it and see if it says something, there is very limited experience about it as the new syste has just launched. Every piece of information will be useful to other members.

I really don’t know. One person told me once you register you have all the informations. I am still not sure. I don’t want to lose all my money.

You won’t loose your application fee. TLS is just for collecting biometrics. UKVI deal with the application.

You can only access the platform and see the info once you have paid. appreciate it feels like a gamble but the system has just changed over and we don't have much information about it yet.

Today I found out on faq on the new website and it says they want pdf and size maximum 8 gb. But there is no mention about the colour or black and white.
Anyone have some info about it? Please can you share.
Thank you

Would normally recommend B&W scans because they produce smaller file sizes. I think the requirements always used to be B&W. Certainly no issues reported if colour was used in the past. Can you please share the web link?

The requirement wasn't B/W from UKVCAS either, it was only recommended to keep filesize down.
