Citizenship Application

Hi,
I am about to apply for British citizenship and I was wondering if you could clarify something for me.
In April 2019 I got ILR/Settled Status as I am from EEA and I have been living in UK for the last 6 years.
This September I got married to a British citizen so as a result I could apply for British citizenship.
Do I still need to apply for British Residency / BRP ? Is the BRP required as document when yu make your Citizenship application?

Many thanks!

No.

You need proof of your PR/settled status only and your marriage cert if applying as the spouse of a British citizen.

You also need to make sure you meet the 3 year residence requirement including the absence limit and being physically present in the UK at the start of the 3 year period based on the date you apply online.
