Hello,
I cam to the uk in August 2018 I am married to a british citizen and i just obtained my ILR and i am about to apply for citizenship. It would be great if you can help with documents to prove that i was living in the UK in the past 3 years.

2x Payslips from 2022 ( Previous employer )
Printed income tax from HMRC website for 2022-2023-2024
Current employer, Employment letter, payslisps and P60 (From 07/23 to present)
Bank statements covering the whole period of 3 years (32 statements)
Tenancy agreeements 10-2023 to present
Household bills 10-2023 to present
Passport stamps

Do you please think these documents are sufficiant ?
Additionally, i have been employed since November 2018 to present with 8 months gap from 11-2022 up until 07-2023. If it helps
Appreciate your help
Thanks

To demonstrate presence in the UK, passport stamps are sufficient - nothing else.

It's always advised to refrain from loading these applications with unnecessary documents.

But immigration officers don't always stamp. Sometimes it is not so easy to get stamped even on request. I.e. my wife tried to get a stamp in Guernsey ferry port and they said "we don't stamp anymore".

Exactly, that's one of the reasons why this is not an issue.

The applicant will input all the corresponding absences/trips manually on the form.
