Hi, I am applying for naturalisation. My husband received his naturalistion in february and now has passport as well. Please can someone answer the following:
- It is asking for a citizenship date - is this the date on the naturalisation certificate or is it another date?
- It is asking for a citizenship certificate number - is this the number on the naturalisation certificate or passport no?
- in the documents checklist, they are asking to see proof of citizenship - either husband's passport or naturalisation certificate. Do these need to be originals or can I provide copies?
Thanks

Additionally in the checklist document it is asking for:
- Your marriage or civil partnership certificate
You can send a photocopy of your spouse or partner’s passport - you must photocopy every page of the passport.
not sure if this means the marriage certificate or partner's passport? also if it is the passport, do i need to give the canceled old passport or his new british passport?

Thank you both. To confirm, I don't need to give his cancelled old passport.
Additionally, please can you advise about this document on the checklist: Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen - what is this proof?

Hi all, I asked above about Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen - what is this proof?"
Please could someone reply as I think I'm confused. Is this my BRP or passport?

For ILR holders "Proof of living in the UK" are the passport(s) with entry stamps, covering the residency period to prove, 3 years in your case.
