First of all thank you everyone on this forum helping me through this hard times !
Bit of my history: I was on Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa and I got my BC in march 2020.
My wife and 2 kids just got their ILR approval letter yesterday.
I want to apply for their BC straight away once received the BRPs next week. Could you please again direct me to right direction . Any checklist I can follow for the documents required ?
Also BC ceremonies are happening by video call now ?
Thanks you once again and best of luck to everyone who are waiting.

Documents we prepared for British Citizenship application are:
Application form
Passports
Biomatric
2 referees
marriage certificate
council tax bills, P60 & Tenancy agreements for 3 years
Is that all or we missing something ?
Can we use same referees for dependents as i used for mine in march for my BC ?
And for biometric are we using same IDV app as used for ILR ?
Thanks !

council tax bills, P60 & Tenancy agreements for 3 years

None of these are required!

Can we use same referees for dependents as i used for mine in march for my BC ?

Yes.

And for biometric are we using same IDV app as used for ILR ?

No, you need to make an in person appointment at ukcvas

Thanks @cullinan

Wondering if they refuse our application if we use same referees as adult for children's ?
As I have seen on this form Gp or school refusing to sign the forms .

In that case, you have to write a cover letter and explain with evidence (if possible) that you contacted GP/school etc. You can arrange referees as per Adult requirements then. HO will write to you in case any other referees are needed then.

Thanks @Cullinan

one more thing please ! one of my referees passport is expired last month . Would that be ok ?

Does not matter.

@cullinan
Thanks a lot !

Hi Everyone !

Wondering what to fill under referee details on application form where referee is school.
I mean do i need to leave it blank where it asks for referee's passport number and other details ? thanks

The referees must be persons who know you, not institutions.

@alterhase58

I am going to get it signed from my son's school today. I thought just school office can sign it. If his teacher signed the form , then not sure if his teacher can provide her personal details like : passport etc..

You need a person to sign it who knows the child and has engaged with the child in a professional capacity - if that is for the child. If they refuse to provide a referral, follow the previous advice as stated above.

i just spoke to my child's school office and they say they can sign the form. But i did not tell them that i also need his teacher passport number, phone , address email etc.
Just wondering when i go to school and ask for all these details as well, how they will react ? Probably his teacher not going to share her personal details i guess.
I going in next hour and lets see

Hi,

I am using the same reference for my little one. I have provided one of my friend who is family friend and the other one of the accountant which is family friend as well.

Regards,

HI

I just submitted applications online and paid.
Only appointments i am getting in dec 17th and 18th in Birmingham. but fee is £597 for 3 applicants. is this fee normal or I can get free appointment if i wait few more weeks or something ?
If not then is this a regular appointment fee ? its around £200 per applicant ? thanks

Free appointments are rare. You have to look around different places/locations for a few days to get lucky.

Thank you !
is it standard to pay around £200 for the appointment ?

Second document is 'Consent Form' from parents. Is there any template of something I can find for anywhere online . Or we have to prepare ourselves ?

1) Child’s UK Birth Certificate


2) Template for you, print, fill, sign and upload. The one I used for my daughter.
