Supporting documentation

Hi, I need help urgently understanding what documentation I need to bring to my appointment which is in 2 days... thanks in advance...

Background is I'm an NZ citizen with a degree from an NZ university, I have ILR and have been in the country for more than 5 years and have fulfilled the other requirements.

1. Do I need a NARIC letter to prove it's at the equivalent level to a UK qualification?

2. If so, then the problem is I've lost my degree certificate and the university no longer issue hard copies, only digital letters that confirm that I studied there. I see on the Naric website they need the actual certificate.

3. What documentation is required to show proof of living in the UK?

4. I applied online, completed the form and paid the fee. In the confirmation email it says I need to book my appointment to show my documentation before the end of October, otherwise they will contact me to remind me. It also says I can only download completed application form until 26 December. So if I don't book by end of October, will they just be reminding me to book before 26 December? When is the actual last date to show my documentation before I loose my application fee? I submitted my form and paid my fee on the 28 August.

Many thanks, your help is appreciated.

For Settlement, anyone from NZ is exempted for English Language Requirements.

However, for citizenship you need to fulfil that.

You either need a NARIC or English B1 SELT. You can simply take B1 SELT costs same £150 as NARIC.
