Hi Team
Hope everyone are doing good.
Tried to gone thru most of the posts and apologise if these queries have been answered early.
I received ILR on 5th of Aug 2020. However, 5 years before, I was in India due to holidays and returned back to UK on 10th of Aug 2016. Hence will apply for Naturalization on 10th of Aug 2021.
However in terms of documents, other than 2 witness signatures, whether I need to provide any other documents other than my passport and ILR visa pls?
Also, after obtaining the naturalisation and apply for British passport, what are the documents I need to submit pls? Whether my "original birth certificate" is required pls? As, I dont have my original birth certificate here in UK and even in India, the birth certificate has been written in native language (not in english)
Can you please help in addressing the above queries. Thanks a lot in advance..
Thanks
Vijay

Naturalisation - your passport and ILR card are sufficient for residency - no other documents required for residency.
Passport - All that is required is the naturalisation certificate and current and any uncancelled passports. Birth certificate is not required. Your claim to British citizenship is based on naturalisation.

Thanks a lot for your response. As part of naturalization, whether I should upload passport copies? Also in 2 months time, I am moving my house to a different council, whether I can submit the application on 11th of aug based on the current address where I reside or I need to wait for 2 months, until I move to the new address pls? If I submit based on current address, for the ceremony, can I change my address pls? If it is complicated, then I need to wait for 2 months to submit the application based on new address
2 Referees for Naturalisation

Good Morning Team,
can you pls advise who the 2 referees needs to be for processing the Naturalisation? (have looked into Guide AN Naturalisation booklet, but there are no information about who the 2 referees needs to be, unless I have missed to read it properly(apologise))
Similarly, pls advise who the 2 referees needs to be for child (9 years old), who is currently holding ILR
Thanks
Vijay

Hi Team
In 2 months time, I am moving my house to a different council, whether I can submit the naturalisation application on 11th of aug based on the current address where I reside or I need to wait for 2 months, until I move to the new address pls? If I submit based on current address, for the ceremony, can I change my address pls? If it is complicated, then I need to wait for 2 months to submit the application based on new address
With regards to the documents I need to submit: Passport copy, ILR copy, 2 referees signatures. Is there any other document (related to council /bank statement, address proof etc. Though one of the response i have received previously with regards to documents upload - states as passport copy and ILR copy.. just got worried if I move house, whether it will impact)
Thanks in advance for your response
Thanks

Hi Team
(Apologise if i need to continue on the existing thread or it has to be a new topic)
In 2 months time, I am moving my house to a different council, whether I can submit the naturalisation application today (11th of Aug) based on the current address where I reside, as I am eligible to apply Naturalisation or I need to wait for 2 months, until I move to the new address pls? If I submit based on current address, for the ceremony, can I change my address pls? If it is complicated, then I need to wait for 2 months to submit the application based on new address
With regards to the documents I need to submit: Passport copy, ILR copy, 2 referees signatures.

Personally I would wait the extra couple of months to avoid any issues with address change.
For residency purposes your passport and ILR are sufficient - no proof of specific addresses or work or earnings required.
