Hello, can I ask if Health and Care Professions Council Registered Dietitian is an acceptable occupation as a referee for the naturalisation application? It is not on the example list, but Registered Dietitian is a legally protected title in the UK. Thank you so much for your help.

The list you refer to is issued by the Home Office UKVI and marked "‘Acceptable professional persons". No indication as to discretion that may be applied. Ideally best to pick someone else with a listed profession.
However, if you have difficulties finding anyone elese you can always use that professional and add a note to this effect. If UKVI are not happy with the referee they will ask for another one, potentially adding further delay to a lengthy process. Others with experience of using an unlisted may wish to comment.

Thanks very much. It certainly meets their criteria:
- work in (or be retired from) a recognised profession
- be ‘a person of good standing in their community’

This list is from HMPO - for passport applications after you are British - different organisation and process.

Are you sure?

The Home Office Guide AN Naturalisation Booklet seems to refer to the same source (Countersigning passport applications and photos)

OK, good spot, so on the face of it you could just use your chosen professional referee.

I'll report back either way.

Hello, I have got a question regarding how I should put down my address history:

Can I put two addresses for the past 5 years and the time period of the two addresses overlap?

Example:
Address A 2016 - 2022
Address B 2018 - 2021

Address A is where my house is and address B is where I stayed when I had work. I used address B to apply for ILR because that was the postal address. Would that raise any issues? Thank you!

Did you also indicate A while applying for ILR or solely Address B?
