It doesn't matter if your referee's passport has expired. The passport will only be used to verify If indeed your referee is British.

If you're unemployed, then just state on section 3.1 that you are. You may as well put the date fom when you're unemployed if you so wish. Your being unemployed shouldn't have any effect on your application for BC.

Yes, they can validate that you already took and passed the LIUK test. I didn't have my certificate with me upon application as well but the lady from NCS just called someone to confirm my test number. See relevant discussion about this as well: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=70143...

The section about the grandparents is not required if you obtained BC by naturalisation (see page 14 of the guidance notes).

All the required documents for naturalisation will only be photocopied and the originals will be given back to you upfront. That's the advantage of submitting your application through NCS.

Any professional person known to you may act as a referee for your daughter in the event that you are unable to find any other suitable referee for her. Home Office is less strict when it comes to this.
