Hi, My son who is nearly 5 just got his certificate of registration as a British citizen. Now, on to apply for a passport. Can his teacher who has known him for few months certify his identity. it says on gov.uk the certifier has to have known him for 2y at least. I feel it is going to be difficult....

I am currently applying for citizenship for my son as we have settled status. I have completed the dossier and all i have to do now is to pay. Do we start by uploading digital copies of all documents ? When do we get to send original passport etc? we are going away for a month and wondering whether ...

Could anyone clarify the process for me, I am currently still stuck on the referee step but should be sorted soon. Once I have finished the MN1 form and paid my fee, do I have to send my son's foreign passport to the Home Office straight away? we are planning some holidays and hence asking. Do we ge...

So no one has been in my situation before? how do you get around the referee 3y rule for a young toddler?

Yes that is the correct link. It says the referee has to have known the applicant for 3 years. also, if it is a child it says, one of the referee has to be a professional who has interacted with the child in a professional capacity. My son has been to nursery for only 2 years. Do you think it is fin...

I went ahead and provided details of my employment as a dad.

Now they want a referee. is this required for 4yo children? have I clicked on the wrong form?

Hi all,

I am filling the form MN1 for my son who is 4. i reached the section where it asks for proof of employment or self sufficiency. Do I provide my payslip here?

Hi,

My wife has pre-settled status and her passport expires in 5 months. Can we travel outside the UK and return with her passport. I am pretty sure she can but she insists on some official website to confirm.

Regards.

Thanks for the answer.

Considering that we might leave the UK in the summer just 3 months before she will complete 5y here. Can she apply 3 months early knowing that she is allowed to be 6 months outside of the UK?

If not, can she apply from outside the UK?

As per title, Just got my settled status as did my son. My wife in non EU and she joined me 4 years ago initially as non-EU family member and then later got her pre-settled status. Can she apply for settled status? or does she have to wait for 5y in the UK? (we have been married for 6y)

Thank you.

I am a bit surprised.

I travelled with my non EU wife to Morocco in the summer and she was allowed back no issues.

I am an EU citizen, she has a BRC used under EU law which expires in 2023 and we both have pre settled status.

Was she lucky or did I misunderstand the point?

Hello, I need to have my marriage certificate translated, I have spoken to some translating companies online and they only require a scan of the certificate and they return it by email. Physical copy of the translation is extra. Is this acceptable to the home office? Shall I pay the extra for the ph...

Hello again,

I understand my wife can not work until she get the COA which is fine, but will she be allowed NHS care? she is pregnant.
