Citizenship Application - Evidence of identity - Please help

Hi,

Could someone please help me with this requirement for naturalisation application. I passed Life in the UK test in 2009 and it's showing Method of Verification as Passport on test notification. I don't remember if I used passport only or passport as well as driving license for Method of Verification for Life in the UK test.

1. So if the Life in the UK test pass notification is showing only passport as Method of Verification, Do I need to use only Passport again for requirement below?
2. Secondly, Can I use my current passport only as Evidence of Identity or do I need to use the same old passport I used in 2009 for taking Life in the UK test. The old passport expired few months after taking the test in 2009.

Evidence of identity
You must include one of the following:
your passport
your national identity card
your Home Office travel document
your Home Office entitlement card
your Home Office ARC letter
your BRP card
your birth certificate
your driving licence
You must include evidence you have legally changed your name if it is now different to the one on your supporting document.
If you took the Life in the UK Test and used one of the above documents as evidence, you should use the same one here.

You can simply upload both the current and previous passports.

Thanks CULLINAN.

If the old passport is outside the qualifying period of 5 years then do I need to scan and upload only passport pages (name and other details) of old passport or all the pages?

Just the bio pages should be okay but...

If I was you personally I would upload full passports including the blank pages. HO can request for full passport copies if they want later on so why not just upload full in the first place.
