Citizenship application Travel SAR

Post by wodinsrage » Thu Sep 25, 2025 11:30 pm

Hello.

My wife is preparing to apply for her full citizenship after completing her permanent residence under FLR(m).
Most of the criteria is bog standard at this point, but we have a quick question regarding travel history. My wife travels a great deal with work and we have tried to keep track of her ins and outs, but we are apprehensions about getting this correct. We have been told that she can request an SAR from UK.gov to confirm dates. The question we are seeking is which of the three types (Basic, Detailed or specific) of requests do we need to make just to get the minimal information of travel history for the last 3 years?

Any help would be super.

regards,

A basic SAR should be enough, making sure to mention in the request that the dates of crossing the borders are needed. Wife will also need ILR and to have held it for a year (the latter is waived if you are a British citizen).
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

Hello,

We got our SAR back so that is all sorted.

The question we now face is regarding my citizenship.
The application is asking whether I am a Naturalized citizen - Yes, or No.
I was born outside the UK, but both my parents were UK Citizens, so all I did was apply for a passport.

How do we answer this question, as when we answer yes, it asks for citizenship number, which I do not have.
