British citizenship referee requirement

Hello everybody!

Hope you are all doing well!

I just had a quick question about my British citizenship referee if you could help me please :)

I have 2 following referees:

1. British passport holder (became British by naturalisation not born here)- 32 years old

2. British passport holder (born here)- 24 years old- Teacher

My question is about the referee who is member of a professional body (Teacher) but he is not over 25 years old (24 years old).

Do you think it's a problem that my professional body referee is not over 25? I did not understand the requirements clearly.

Thank you :)

No issue.

There is no requirement the professional referee must be over 25.

The teacher should be a fully qualified teacher - not just a cover teacher or teaching assistant.
