Hello,
I am an italian citizen and i am applying for british citizenship. For my passport upload, do i need to upload all pages of the passport or will just the page with the picture and details be enough?
Thank you

You are requested to upload your passport - therefore do what you are asked, even though your passport didn't get stamped.

Sorry for my question. It was a misunderstanding. I mean for proof of identity or proof of application can I upload only the first page of the passport with the picture or I need to upload all passport pages?
Thanks

Your current passport is sufficient as proof of ID.
As you are EU citizen without stamps in the passport you need to provide official documents to prove residency, for example P60 for each year (no bills or statements).
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

You only need to list your absences in the form. You are not required to prove absences.

You need to input the date when you submitted the application for pre-settled and settled status.

I didn't give fingerprints for my EUSS application - if you did you must answer Yes, if not answer No.

last question and then i will submit the application:
Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave application made on or after 28 October 2013? yes or no?
I am EU citizen and was granted of settled status and before pre-settled status in 2019. there was not requirement of english test at that time when i applied for settled status and before applied for pre-setled status.
thank you again

Hello,
My very last question is:
When did you first arrive in the UK? This date is referred to first entry in uk or the first day of 5 years qualifying period (in 2019)? I arrived in the Uk in 2014 for purpose of long residence and acquire settled status in 2019.
Thank you again

It’s simply the day you arrived for long term residency, not the start of YOUR application residency period back from the application date.

Thank you all for your help and promptly reply. was very helpful for me.
I have one last doubt: i renewed my passport in 2021. for travel history covering the past 5 years you would advise me to upload the old expired passport as well or not? it is cut on the corners.
Thank you again

For proof of residence I rely on settled status acquired in 2019.

You do not have to prove your travel history, you just list your dates in the application.
Only the passport(s) covering the residency period is required.
