Hello All,
Applying for naturalization have settled status for 66 months.
Just few questions if someone could help me clarify them,
My current non eea passport covers last 10 years with only one holiday of 14 days, I have uploaded all 36 pages.
Q1) do I have to upload my previous two passports as well? Second one is empty & 1st one has my first entry, and lot of holidays & visas & permits.

Im self employed, also full time paid carer and recieving UC as well as a couple. I uploaded my latest tax return but for 5 years I'm uploading letter from carer proving my entitlement since 2020
Q2) do I upload 1 or 2 statements from UC for every year or just covering 2019 prior to getting carer.
Also if I write covering letter do I type it or it's ok to be handwritten.
Many thanks

Many thanks No need for any of that, your non-EEA passport with stamps covers your 5 years of residence.

Thanks alot for your reply, just a follow up question, there's a section on my documents upload portal where it says upload files for 5 year residency, do I just leave it empty?
And one last thing my current passport expires next month, would there be any complications if I renew it? Or just wait till I get decision.

Submit your passport, all pages scanned, there.
No issue if once you submitted you renew it.
