EU National and Natualisation - Please Help

Hi everyone,

Just following-up on an EEA related inquiry and would very much appreciate your help.

I have had the PR document for more than 12 months and consider applying for naturalisation through the NCS in a couple of weeks and wanted to confirm the following points, even after reading the AN Guide:

1. Documents required to be submitted alongside the AN application. Is the PR document itself enough or is it necessary to provide additional documents (e.g. student letters, employment verification letters etc) to prove residency during the qualifying period?

FYI: The NCS person suggested I would have to provide residency documents (student/employment letters, payslips, bank statements etc.) in addition to the PR document


2. For the English requirement I plan to provide a degree certificate issued by a UK University (alongside transcript & additional pages that actually say the degree was taught in English). Is it necessary to provide a 'point-based system' print-out as well showing 10 points for the language requirement?

3. Overall, I plan to show-up to the NCS appointment with the following list of documents:
- Completed AN form & payment slip
- EEA Passport and National ID Card
- Document Certifying Permanent Residence as an EEA national
- UK Degree Certificate (inc. transcript & additional pages confirming the degree was taught in English)
- Life in the UK test letter
- Short cover letter addressed to the Case-worker

Kindly let me know if I am possibly missing anything from the list above.

- Completed AN form & payment slip
- EEA Passport and National ID Card Just your passport will suffice
- Document Certifying Permanent Residence as an EEA national
- UK Degree Certificate (inc. transcript & additional pages confirming the degree was taught in English)
- Life in the UK test letter
- Short cover letter addressed to the Case-worker There's no need for this at all
When I applied for my citizenship (EU with PR) I only provided PR document without payslips and tons of other paperwork. If HO needs more information from you they will write to you.

The DCPR is proof of residency, you don't need to send all of your payslips again.

Thank you both.

I was wondering how much of a leverage does the NCS worker have over sending your application? (i.e. If he insists I provide documents that are not actually required, and you disagree)

It does say on both the AN form and the guidance notes which documents you need to send, nothing more is required. NCS know what they are doing.

If you somehow miss a required document and NCS also miss this, the Home Office will write to you saying they need addition evidence and you'll be able to send it in.
