Hi
I am applying for my citizenship application.
Do i need to write all of my previous immigration applications details in the previous application section?
LIKE i have 3 to 4 visa applications mention all?

Secondly I don't have my husband citizenship certificate reference number.
If he would know I am applying for citizenship he would not cooperate at all so how to deal with this?
I have his passport copy and marriage certificate although.
Do I need to write cover letter for this or there is one section in the end
"Other details that you would like to be considered regarding this applicant and their application to be registered as a British citizen"
SHOULD I MENTION THUS IN THIS.

Third for tax documents.
SA302 calculation or view your calculation document and view your tax pdf document is enough.
Also there is a watermark on the document do not send this copy to HMRC. DO i have to remove the watermark or send as it is?

Fourth for proof of residence I have to scan the stamped pages of my passport ?

Please respond

SA302 calculation or view your calculation document and view your tax pdf document is enough. Both SA302 and full tax return
Also there is a watermark on the document do not send this copy to HMRC. DO i have to remove the watermark or send as it is? Send as is

You can't apply under Section 6(2) without evidence of your spouse's British citizenship (the certificate). Are you eligibel under Section 6(1) instead?

Why I can't apply. Can you give any reference please.?
I am legally married to him

Because I have seen 2 3 cases like this on this platform where candidates have applied for it without citizenship certificate. Unfortunately those topics are locked. 6 years being here with no gaps in my continuity and an ILR and it clearly says in the document list either citizenship certificate or British passport in the document list.
Home office saying passport is a strong proof than citizenship certificate. Its a provisional document leading to the Passport.
I am neither showing his payslips nor any declaration signed by him so it does not make any sense why I can't apply as his spouse.

Citizenship certificates are not provisional. Not sure where you got that idea. They are the literal proof that one is a citizen. A passport is just a travel document. I misread your initial post about having your husband's passport, that may be enough though someone else may hopefully confirm this.

Could you please answer my previous questions about how long you have lived in the UK and how long you held ILR, in case copy of the biometric page of your husband's passport is not enough?

If you wait for 11 months you will be able to apply in your own right (without relying on marriage to a British citizen as your relationship with your husband appears to be strained) if you decide not to apply now. You need to make sure you respect all other requirements too. Someone else may confirm if a spouse of a naturalised citizen needs only to submit a copy of the biometric page of the spouse and nothing else is needed.

Your spouse’s or civil partner’s current passport or naturalisation/registration certificate showing that he/she is a British citizen.
Every page of the passport must be copied including any blank pages.
