Hello Good People,

Please, I am married to a British husband and I was last week GRANTED ILR. I have only lived in the UK for 5 years and as someone who is married to a British, I can apply for Naturalization. The issue here is, I have all the required document (e.g Hubby's British passport, marriage certificate etc) with the exception of my Hubby's Naturalization certificate which we have misplaced it in our house.

can I still apply for Naturalization with Hubby's British passport as evidence of him being a British without his NC? If I can, what do I put on the form for the field of Naturalization certificate number of my Hubby?

Can I state misplaced and explain, as we do not remember the NC certificate number.

Thanks

You don't need the certificate if you have his passport.

You can write 'document misplaced'.

Note, you should ALWAYS keep scanned copies of HO documents as you never know when you might need it.

£250 to replace a certificate.

Thanks for your response.

But the other issue is that the online Naturalization form required the date of naturalization for my hubby which he is not sure of the exact date. We manage to find the letter from the home office dated on 9th Feb 2001 which accompanied his now misplaced NC. That letter acknowledged successfully Naturalization and enclose is his NC.

when I was applying for my ILR I used an estimated Naturalization date as 6th Feb 2001 which was not flag.

1. my question is can I use the same estimated date as Naturalization date for my Naturalization application since i cannot leave the field blank?

2. If HO finds out that the Naturalization date for my hubby on my form is incorrect, will I be charged with deception?

3. I am Not an EEC national, i have already lived in the UK for 5 yr 3 months and still married to a Britsh, can I apply on my own right since I am already 5 years or I will have to do ILR + 1 YEAR ;

Thanks for your help

Any suggestions pls...
