Referee email address typo in application

I have completed and paid for my application but just noticed a typo in the email address of the second referee, is this something to be concerned, does the HomeOffice send an email to the referees?

I'll be mentioning their correct email address in the reference letter that I'll get signed from them.
Will that be sufficent?

Thanks

No issue. Referees are very rarely contacted. Email address can be stated on the referee declaration.

thanks,

another question, is it possible to change a referee once I have added them in the application form
the referee in question is no agreeing to sign in the declaration form, as they are scared of the wordings in the declaration form.
The referee's father's brother is married to my mother's sister, does this count as a relative?

A relative is anyone related to you through blood or through marriage and cannot be your referee.

Find another referee.

how do I change the form now, can I just get the new referee to sign the declaration form now that I have paid?

The online form can’t be updated now. Write a covering note and load with your other documents.

thanks, does the requirement of knowing them for over 3 years still apply? I am unable to find it in the guidance?

thanks but is that for passport though? I don't see the requirement for Form AN guidance or the caseworker guidance.

sorry for asking another question, can I just submit my NARIC certificate and English degree as proof of being thought in English and having sufficient English language skills?

The link alterhase58 has provided IS the nationality policy and referees need to have known you for 3 years as it states on page 10! Guidance documents are just that, guidance. The nationality policy is the key document here.
