Made a mistake and realised after paying fee

Post by TommyT1988 » Sun Jun 08, 2025 4:45 pm

Hi,

I made a mistake with my referees, I didn't realise until after paying and downloading the declaration form that the referees can not be related to each other.

Is it now too late to change this? have I lost the money for the application? :|

How are they related? Can you find a third referee who meets the requirements?

Thanks for the reply. They are related by marriage.

Yes I have another referee that I can use.

If you haven't attended the biometric appointment yet, just write a cover letter, explain the mistake, state the referee's details, and get them to sign the form.
