✎ EN Form AN Naturalisation application

damianpfister · 6 mei 2013

Hi All

I am concerned that my referees might not be accepted since they live together (couple) but are not related (not married and have different surnames). One is a British citizen, over 25 and registered with a professional body while the other is an EU citizen, over 25 and also registered with a professional body. They both know me for over 3 years as friends.

Would them having the same physical address be a potential problem? The guide only states they should not be related to me or each other (which they are not). There is no mention of "living at the same address" being an problem?

Thanks!

The complete guide to London is a good place to start. The section on Passport, Visa & Permits for London covers citizenship:

To acquire citizenship, there are rigid requirements that must be satisfied. In these complicated matters, it is in your best interest to take professional advice from a solicitor or from an immigration adviser registered by the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC).

To become a British citizen by naturalization you need to these conditions:
Been a permanent resident in the UK for at least one year
Legally lived in the UK for a minimum of 5 complete years (with no more than 450 days spent abroad, and no more than 90 days on the year leading up to the application) OR 3 years if you are married to or a civil partner of a British citizen.
Intend to continue living in the UK
Have adequate knowledge of English, Gaelic or Welsh
Be of "good character" (i.e. no criminal record)

How to Apply
Documents required:
Passport
Nationality identity card
Home Office travel document
Home Office entitlement card
Home Office application registration card
Birth certificate
Photo driving licence
Bank, building society or credit card statements issued to you in the last six months

Nationality Checking Service (NCS): The nationality checking service is provided by local authorities like your county council or city council. A local authority can accept and forward your application. They will ensure that your form is correctly completed, and they will copy your documents and return them to you. They will ensure that your application is validly submitted and that the requirements for citizenship are met. However, they will not give you nationality advice.

Applying through an agents or representative: A representative can act on your behalf and offer advice. You should ensure that any representative is registered with the Office of the Immigration Service Commissioner. Original documents should be submitted.

Individual applications: You may apply directly. You must submit either original documents, or a fully certified photocopy of your documents. Guides are available on the Home Office site, but it is a complicated process.

If you are denied a visa you will be notified in writing of the refusal and the reasons for it. In certain cases you will have the right to appeal the decision and as such will be given advice on how to do so. Instead of appealing you can simply apply again, but if the reasons for the initial refusal still apply, your application will probably be turned down again.
