Hi,
Some background....I have submitted my Indian Engineering degree certificate while applying for Tier-2 in 2014 which as accepted and was granted Tier-2 visa. After 5 years in 2019 I applied for ILR and explained about my English language eligibility which was accepted while Tier-2 application and attached College Letter explaining that my degree is taught in English along with my Degree certificate.

Now my question is do I still need to get me Degree certificate validate from UKNARIC for British Citizenship application? Much appreciate if someone can answer this.

As you proved your English for ILR you can rely on that for naturalisation.
Select the appropriate box in the online application. There should be nothing to submit in support.

Hi alterhase58,

Thank you so much for the response, much appreciate.

Just to be clear, I did not submit UKNARIC documents to support my Indian Degree when applied for ILR, it was my same Degree certificate which was accepted during my Tier-2 visa(at that time they accepted Indian degrees and no need for UKNARIC checks) and same explained during ILR application and accepted. So i can still rely on ILR submission for naturalisation? Just to be clear and avoid any hiccups :) hope you understand.

Thank you
Ruhulla
