Hi
I hope someone could advise. My husband's NCS appointment is tomorrow and I just found online that the AN application was updated in January. I don't mind printing out and filling out a new application but I won't manage to get my referees to fill out a new form by tomorrow. They filled the form out in December and I didn't expect a new version of the form to come out. The new form is very similar but the "Referees and identity" point 5 is on a different page.

Can I fill out a new application and just include the pages filled out by my referees on the old form?

Thank you

There should be a transition period during which you can still submit the old form. I suggest you take a copy of the new one with you, but ask the NCS if they will accept the previous version in its entirety. I'm confident that they will.

There is a transitional period where the older form will still be accepted.

There is only a small change/addition to the new form. See page 25 of the form as there is the new bit about returning the BRP within 5 days of attending the ceremony.

You could complete the new form and substitute your referee pages already completed but check with NCS.
