hi,

I have a profession referee (solicitor) and another referee who is over 25 years old. They are both willing to act as referees for my AN application. However, they live at the same address and are in a relationship. They are my friends and we have known each other since 2010.

Can I use referees who reside at the same address? (different adress to me)

thanks.

5.1 One referee should be a person of any nationality who has professional standing, eg
minister of religion, civil servant, or a member of a professional body e.g. accountant or
solicitor (who is not representing you with this application). The other referee must normally be
the holder of a British citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25.
Both sho
• they are not a relative, solicitor or agent of the applicant, or related to the other referee;

Thank you. They are not married, but i wont risk it anyway.

is there a time frame within which the referee signs the form and the date of NCS appointment? IOW can the referees sign more than a month before the actual date of submission? the reason i ask is that my referees live in different parts of the country and i dont want to risk not getting the signed form back in time for my appointment.
