You will need
- reference of proof of English
- reference of Life in the UK test
- referee declarations
- ILR reference/ a scan of your ILR BRP
- proof of residence (you need to wait until application to have the most updated version of this)

You can open an online application, start going through the details and log in every 10 weeks to keep the data.
All advice comes from personal research and experience and should not be regarded as professional opinion.

You've got ILR you are free to organise your life as you wish.

Employment is not a requirement, earnings, taxes, benefits are not examined. On it's own your GCR is not affected by this.
If you haven't paid taxes you are due to pay (including council tax) or claimed benefits you are not entitled to that might count against you. Apart from other issues such a crimes committed, court sentences, immigration crimes, etc.

1) Two referees ok

Naturalisation isn’t an immigration application.

No need to show your financial soundness. If you are registered for self- assessment it is a good idea to send in your most recent SA302 and full tax return.
You need to send in your scanned passport for residence too as well as proof of your ILR.
You will be eligible to apply on the anniversary of your ILR grant in October 2025.
