supporting documents questions: self-employed, british spouse
Posted: Thu Mar 30, 2023 7:18 pm
Hi, I have 4 questions regarding my supporting documents for my naturalisation application. Hopefully someone can advise.
I am EEA citizen, have held settled status for over a year, so I can apply on my own right. I filled the application form and for supporting documents it's asking a few things I am unsure about:
1. "One proof of British citizenship for XXX (such as a passport or UK citizenship certificate)"
Q: Is this evidence compulsory? My husband just received his citizenship so his certificate has been sent to passport office for his first passport.
2. Q: I don't think I was asked anywhere in the form whether I am applying on my own right or as the spouse of a British citizen... so where do I state this?
3. I am self-employed and it's asking "...most recent tax year account statement and corresponding HMRC tax return as proof of self-employment"
Q: the terminology confuses me, online people also talk about SA302... Looking at HMRC online, I can download "tax calculation" and "tax return" (which is watermarked to not send to HMRC). are these the correct documents?
4. Finally, the document lists 'Proof of living'. I have been advised by others to use the tax records mentioned above, is that genuinely enough? It specified that bank statements are not accepted, so as self-employed I don't have much else.
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help out
