Natrulisation queries

I am applying for my naturalization and collated a few questions where I need further guidance. I hope the team will be able to help. They are:

Query 1: Do you have a valid national identity card?
I have an Aadhar Card. I am not sure if it is counted as a national identity card. Matter of fact I am not entirely sure what document should be referred to as a national identity card. Is it this question is applicable to European citizens who usually have a national identity card?

When I select the question, this is what I see with Yes and No option. It also talks about an internal passport. I am not sure what exactly internal passport meant?

Your identity card (India)
Do you have a valid national identity card?
This includes identity cards, issued from non-UK governments. This does not include driving licenses. If you have an internal passport, provide the details here.


Query 2: Have you been granted indefinite leave to enter, or remain, in the UK?
Date your leave was granted (if known)

Which date I need to enter here, the one that is showing on my BRP card i.e. ‘issue date’ or the one that shows on the letter that I have received from the Home office that says that my BRP will be sent in a separate post.


Query 3: Additional employment details

Job title
Employer name
Start Date
End Date

I have also worked as a sole proprietor. What do I need to enter in Job title i.e. Sole Proprietor or Consultant?

Employer name: As I have worked as a sole proprietor, do I need to add my first and last name or the name that I have registered with HMRC when I have started my self-employment.



Query 4: Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?

Date of application, if known
Enter your reference number if known

I have acknowledgment letters that I have received when I have applied for my various UK immigration applications from the Home office. I believe I can treat acknowledgment letter dates as the ‘Date of application’ along with the reference number that is quoted in the letter. Can you please confirm this?


Query 5:
Passport photo On the back of the applicant’s photograph, please write their full name and date of birth. The photograph should then be glued into space aside.

The instruction explains that I need to glue the photograph into space provided in the referee's letter. If I glue the pic then how the home office would be able to see the details such as my full name and date of birth?


Query 6:

Providing your documents
You must provide your documents after you submit your application; these can be originals or copies. Any passports provided must be originals. You will be able to upload copies of your documents on our commercial partner's website, or you can take your documents to your biometrics appointment to be scanned and uploaded by our commercial partner for a fee.

Where do I can find information about commercial partner fee? If I decided to opt for an online option. Can I also submit the scanned copy of my passport or do I need to post or take my passport to one of the home office Commerical partners?

Query 7: Once I have shown my documents at one of the Home office commercial partners. How long does it take to get a decision?

Query 8: I am unable to find the list for approved referees. Can you please share if you have the link?

Thanks for helping.

Regards,
X

I haven't seen any information that requires me to book an appointment. Maybe as I have still not completed the application yet? If I am submitting my application and documents online then do I still need to book this appointment?
