Citizenship Application Documents – Checklist Review

Hello,

I got my ILR last week through the spouse route (non-EU) and have uploaded all the citizenship documents from the checklist. Just checking if I missed anything.

The documents on the checklist were:

• Colour copies of all pages of the applicant’s passport or travel document, including blank pages. Done and also included an older passport that has some stamps covering the period.

• Proof of residence in the UK for the required period. I’ve attached the passports, but should I add anything else, such as airline tickets or letter from employer?

• Marriage or civil partnership certificate.

• Degree certificate confirming the required level of English (My bachelor’s degree).

• Two referee declarations (1- Teacher 2- Senior marketing manager).

• Ecctis letter confirming the qualification meets the recognised UK standard and the level of English. (Uploaded the UK NARIC letter, that enough?)

• Proof of British spouse’s citizenship (Spouse’s complete passport, should I add their Naturalization certificate)

Have I missed anything ? I also wanted to check whether I should include evidence of my Indefinite Leave to Remain (biometric) and the Life in the UK test, as I’ve seen some people upload these.

Thanks

• Ecctis letter confirming the qualification meets the recognised UK standard and the level of English. (Uploaded the UK NARIC letter, that enough?)yes

• Proof of British spouse’s citizenship (Spouse’s complete passport, should I add their Naturalization certificate)no

Have I missed anything ? I also wanted to check whether I should include evidence of my Indefinite Leave to Remain (biometric) and the Life in the UK test, as I’ve seen some people upload these. URN is enough for LITUK test. You can upload a copy of the letter that granted you ILR.

Thanks
I am assuming you are married to a British citizen, in this case you only need to supply evidence for the last 3 years. Make sure you review all requirements.
