Naturalisation - EEA Family member - residence requirement

Hello,
Question re: residence requirement BC (EEA Family member)

My spouce: Italian, holder of PR card (PR status started in 2010), constant employement
Me: non-EEA with PR status gained in Sep-2016 (PR card received March 2017). I am going to apply for BC in October-2017

I am unemployed and we don't claim any benefits, I'm not a student either so I can't provide any of the documents listed in the guide for residency requirement

I do have an old passport (with EEA residence card endorced in my passport) which covers all the last years but I can't find stamps for all the travels as most of travels are to Spain or Italy, hence no stamp

I do have some utility bills, NHS letters , some very brief correspondence with DVLA regarding provisional licence, one letter from DWP about NIN number, NARIC letter about my qualifications but these letters are not regular (single correspondence). I also have hospital notes about my pregnancies and birth of my kids born here in the UK (what i provided during EEA PR application). I have bank statements as well, I guess one can see that I was charged from the local places/shops, but I dont' think they accept it as evidence...

How do I prove my physical presece in the UK last years? I was definitely here with only short absences for visiting family.
Thank you

All of the evidence that you stated above look fine to me. With a brief cover letter explaining what you just explain here should be sufficient

Regards

If you ask for your SAR which was free.

(in order to know the exact date you have acquired permanent resident right)

And you use the nationality checking service for around £80

You won't need to provide to much.

You will only need:

Passport with the 5years residence on it.
SAR stating the permanent residence right date.
Permanent Residence Card (plastic one)
AN form completed+ Payment.
Passport form completed+Payment.
Photos.
Life in the UK test results letter.
English test result.

This is from my own experience.
Naturalization application joining passport application using NCS on august 15 and I did the biometric fingerprint today already.

Good luck.

Hello, thank you for your detailed answer and help!
I have a letter from home office where they provided a date when I acquired the permanent residence status (it's a date when I first entered the UK with my family permit of a family member of a eea national)
I will probably include this letter to my application.
Do you think SAR will be of additional benefit to my application?
Yes, I definitely will use NCS

If that letter states clearly the date you have acquired permanent resident right it's enough then.
I asked for SAR because I didn't have such a letter and I was advised to prove the exact date of permanent resident right as isn't the same of permanent residence card issue date.
