British Naturalisation - proof of residency in UK

Post by MonikaB » Thu Jun 30, 2016 2:51 pm

Hello,

I received my Permanent Residency Card over a year ago. I want to apply for British Naturalisation now and my question is - do I still need to proof residence in UK for the last 5 years?

Many thanks,
Monika

Yes, unless married to a British spouse.
And to prove you were physically present in UK 5 years to the day from date of application.

Thank you for your reply.

How can I do that? I've heard that usually passport is enough, but my passport has expired in 2013.

Tricky for Union citizens who are not usually stamped into country.
See the guidance for all the alternate proofs of residency in UK.

Do you think a tenancy agreement would be sufficient?

Yes that would be good.
