Print referee form before submission

My ILR application (through 5 year PBS dependant route) was approved yesterday at the Croydon office and my new BRP is in the post. I am keen to apply for citizenship ASAP so I can travel next month and have started completing the online application ready to submit as soon as I get the BRP.

Q1. Can I print out the referee signature form before I have fully submitted so I can get those signed already (one of the referees will be travelling in two weeks so want to get his signature soon)?

Q2. How quickly can we get NDRS appointments in London councils? Can I book an appointment before I have submitted online (of course for a date after I expect to submit the online form)?

Q3. For the JCAP do I just need to complete the paper passport form from the Post Office and take it to the same NDRS appointment?

Thank you.

No, my husband is BC now so I can apply immediately as I’ve completed more than three years.

Q1. Can I print out the referee signature form before I have fully submitted so I can get those signed already (one of the referees will be travelling in two weeks so want to get his signature soon)? Not for online application

Q2. How quickly can we get NDRS appointments in London councils? Can I book an appointment before I have submitted online (of course for a date after I expect to submit the online form)? You have to call and find out. You can but it will be advisable to book first. Anyway, you have to submit doc to HO within 10 days of making an application so, I guess it gives you more time to book NDRS appt incase they are busy

Q3. For the JCAP do I just need to complete the paper passport form from the Post Office and take it to the same NDRS appointment? Yes

Thank you.

Yes, you can print out the form before submitting. You need to fill in the form, then click "continue" or whatever, go through a couple more steps, make some declaration. At some point you will see a list of documents and the form to print.

Important: Do not proceed to the final step, payment, until you are actually ready to submit. You will see a warning on the last page before that. Do not proceed to the payment page, because you cannot go back from there. As long as you don't go there, you can still go back and edit your answers and haven't submitted.
