Hi guys,
Me and my spouse will be shortly applying for naturalisation soon by post.
Our case HSMP 5 yr + ILR 1 yr. Can some one guide on the following please.
( as i am bit confused after reading AN guide + sticky )

1) documents for 1st applicant - not working
Passport / ILR / photograph
2) documents for 2nd applicant- working
Passport / ILR / photograph / P60 ( ? Compulsory)

And then marriage certificate + fees.

Is there anything missing ?

Also we cant get appt at nearby NCS upto 100 miles radius, so going to post application. If i decide to get certified copies does any body knows how much costs ?

Many thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks

S

Hi, NCS officer has not allowed me (literally) put any additional documents stating passports have no gaps between the expiration date of the old and issue date of the new one hence they are already sufficiently demonstrating my lawful residence in UK for more than five years.

In fact I had brought some flight itineraries with me in order to provide additonal proof about some fade/blurry entry/exit stamps within the old passport. He even didn't let me put them!

Thus, it's up to you what you bring but the general idea was for HSMP, Tier-1 , Tier-2 etc you dont need to provide many additional documents.

By the way London always has some empty appointment slots if you want to keep the originals. Otherwise you are kind of expected to send the passports etc as far as I know.

Thanks Mealos. So in essence what the documents pieces i stated above (3 /4 ) should be enough. i will try london NCS - i guess only difficulty is getting a leave at that last moment. Many thanks
