Dear Moderators,

Good morning, hope you are doing well!

Dear Mods,

Just to check with you that passport/s should be scanned for all the pages including empty/blank pages while uploading the documents?

And do we also need to submit if we have old passports (scanned) too?

Thanks,
Raj.

Thank you for the response!

My wife's Indian passport does not have her surname mentioned but her name and surname mentioned in the Given Name in her passport.

So what should I enter in this ILR application form for the Given name(s) and Family name section?

Thanks,
Raj.
