Application qs if partner is citizen by naturalisation

[priyasha_m]

Hi, I am applying for naturalisation. My husband received his naturalistion in february and now has passport as well. Please can someone answer the following:

- It is asking for a citizenship date - is this the date on the naturalisation certificate or is it another date?

- It is asking for a citizenship certificate number - is this the number on the naturalisation certificate or passport no?

- in the documents checklist, they are asking to see proof of citizenship - either husband's passport or naturalisation certificate. Do these need to be originals or can I provide copies?

Thanks

Thanks. For the number is it the certificate number i need to share?

Also, Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen - what is this proof?

Additionally in the checklist document it is asking for:

- Your marriage or civil partnership certificate
You can send a photocopy of your spouse or partner’s passport - you must photocopy every page of the passport.

not sure if this means the marriage certificate or partner's passport? also if it is the passport, do i need to give the canceled old passport or his new british passport?

You need BOTH the marriage cert and his British passport.

Additionally, please can you advise about this document on the checklist: Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen - what is this proof?

Hi all, I asked above about Proof of living in the UK for 5 years if applying in your own right or 3 years if applying as the spouse of a British Citizen - what is this proof?"

Please could someone reply as I think I'm confused. Is this my BRP or passport?

For ILR holders "Proof of living in the UK" are the passport(s) with entry stamps, covering the residency period to prove, 3 years in your case.
