Old/Outdated Evidence for British Citizenship

Post by underdog » Tue Oct 06, 2020 9:59 am

Hello all,

I am in a predicament and I would really value your help.

I am applying for British Citizenship and I have gathered documents to prove my residency for the past 5 years. The problem is that the date of which documents were provided is 27th of March and I submitted the application on 30th of September. So it's been 6 months and 3 days, for some documents might be 6 months and 10 days.

I am submitting documents from Benefits (which I was in receipt for) for the past 3 years and I have gotten of ESA and PIP. I have provided documents stating that I was in receipt for benefits, but now I have gotten off them in August 2020.

Basically what I am trying to say is that I have evidence that are a bit older than 6 months. Now I have already booked my appointment with UKCVAS and I don't feel like running around gathering documents.

Should I cancel my British Citizenship and re-apply when I have gathered documents with a more recent date on them?
Any advice like I said would be massively appreciated.

Thank you.

Now I have already booked my appointment with UKCVAS and I don't feel like running around gathering documents. Evidence can be years old, for example P60s or Council Tax bills from three years ago. It just has to be official evidence.

Should I cancel my British Citizenship and re-apply when I have gathered documents with a more recent date on them? Not necessary if you have enough documents covering the period.
