British Citizenship Application

Hello,

I received my ILR based on the 10-year Family Route on 21 August 2024. I am now preparing to apply for British citizenship.

I am not married and not in a civil partnership. I understand that, in this case, I must provide evidence that I have been living in the UK for the past 5 years.

On the Online Application, the guidance says that bank statements or household bills are not suitable proof of residence.

My question is: which documents can I provide to support my application?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

As ILR holder you provide your passport covering the residency period. Scan and upload with your other documents.

Thank you for your advice. However, on the online application it does say that I need to provide supporting residency documents. I also checked on an online forum and saw that when applying, these documents are usually required to prove residency. Could you please advise if there is any official link or Home Office guideline regarding the supporting documents?
