By support, I mean making sure all the documents are there and the data is filled correctly.
I have been trying to fill out the application for almost a month now and so many things I need apart from references and tests. I don't remember when I entered the UK (does it have to be the exact day... I am not sure if it was the 4th or 5th of March ten years ago), I don't remember how many trips I have taken outside of the UK, etc. To request the information, I need a signed letter from a legal representative, solicitor, barrister, chartered legal executive, etc.
Are there any companies that can collect all the documents on my behalf and submit the application? I feel there are so many additional things to do and documents to collect, which you can see only when you click next and move to the next page
I have ILR.

You can open the application, make notes of what you need, and just click next. The system will save your application for 10 weeks, then it will be deleted if you don't log in. There are services but they can't be advertised here on the forum. Any company would need you to supply the details anyway, they can't scour your records for you.

I don't remember when I entered the UK (does it have to be the exact day... I am not sure if it was the 4th or 5th of March ten years ago), Not a problem, all dates are at teh best of your recollection I don't remember how many trips I have taken outside of the UK, check your records, pictures you took, ask family and friend to help you reconstruct your travel history etc. To request the information, I need a signed letter from a legal representative, solicitor, barrister, chartered legal executive, etc. You can request a SAR here https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... mmigration

For SAR I still need to provide "Written confirmation that the photo identification for Mr Name Sutname is a true likeness."

The following people can certify the copy of this document:
- A legal representative, registered with the Office for the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC)
- A solicitor, barrister or chartered legal executive
- A commissioner for oaths
- A registered charity

Where to get that person? And all this just to get the travel in/out data.

The majority of applicants who post on this board complete the application themselves, it is actually an application that is very straightforward compared to most immigration applications (naturalisation is not immigration). Of course you can always engage a legal adviser, who basically will fill in the form for you. Some are good, others are not so good. Fees are generally a few hundred pounds - note if you ask them to do additional work then it gets expensive - the board doesn't recommend any legal advisors or companies.

Onus to keep travel records is on the applicant, personally I had planned to apply for citizenship with a lot of advance so I kept records as I went along. Citizenship is discretionary and a privilege, so you need to collect all the data needed to show you satisfy the statutory requirements.

I am sure that you can find solicitors, commissioners for oaths, and charities where you live, even just by googling.

This is not required anymore.

We no longer require photo evidence to be certified.
