Passport application

Hello,
I have chosen my references, one is a medic and the other a university lecturer. I would like to give them as much information about their responsibilities and role in my application. Is there by any chance a “referee info sheet” that explains what is expected of the referees? The application guidance pack has a very short section on references which I don’t find sufficient. I am also not sure about most of the details, are referees contacted via email or phone to confirm their endorsement and are they expected to give any additional information about me?
Thank you!

You can print off the relevant sections from the paper version:

Anyone acting as a referee should be happy with that - they don't need to see other parts of the application.
Referees may be contacted but it seems to be rare - don't remember any postings about it over the last two years.

Hello,
I fulfil the residency requirements (haven't been outside of the UK for more than the allowed time) but for some time (about two months) I was based at an address in a different (EU) country - and I account for this time period when calculating my residency dates. However, are we allowed to give non-UK addresses as a previous address in the application or is it going to be viewed negatively?
Thank you!

During you overseas stay did you maintain your UK residence? If yes, then I suggest it is not necessary to provide the overseas address of where you stayed. If no, then give details. It will not affect your application in my opinion.

Hello,
I am plannig to apply online. I know that once a certain part of the application is completed the references templates can be downloaded. I was wondering if once thess are generated and downloaded I will be able to amend previous parts of the application? I am asking as I am still unsure of some of my leaving and arriving back dates during travel and am waiting for banks statements which can give me more accurate idea and I might need to change some details.
Thank you

Hello,

You should only pay & submit once everything is correctly completed in the online form. Once submitted, you will NOT be able to amend the form but only download referee declaration forms, completed application form and document checklist. Therefore, it’s important to complete everything prior to making payment and submitting your application.

Hello,
I am a bit confused about the difference between naturalisation application and passport application. I assume I won’t receive a passport straightaway after being naturalised? On googling I saw that in different areas there are schemes to apply for passport together with the naturalisation application but I can’t find such informationabout the place where I live (Cambridge). Is there a more “national” level passport application I can use and do I just send it together with the documents for my citizenship application?
Thank you!

Posts merged.

Nationalisation and passport applications are normally separate applications. However, previously, a joint citizenship and passport scheme via the Nationality Checking Service was available..

Unfortunately, they have withdrawn these services.

You are given the referee print outs after you fill in the application and before the payment.

If I remember correctly, I was able to go back and change my application as long as I did not click the Pay button at the end.

Funny enough, once you are on the page where they give you the referee print outs, it's hard to find that page again!
I believe when it was the final page and I clicked the "back" button on the page (not the browser) it moved me to that page again. Otherwise, if you go to the first page and just click next it will skip pages you've already completed.
