Dear all,
I just applied for citizenship via online and with my children.
The government website regarding the referees just asks me if one is professional and another is a British citizen over 25 years old. All these have been filled and submitted, then book the biometric appointment.
But after that, i checked the referee form that was listed:

Where the applicant is a child applying, one referee should be a professional who
has engaged with the child in a professional capacity, such as a teacher, health
visitor, social worker or minister of religion.

:? The problem is i didn't filled the one of the referee is listed for child, eg. teacher.... now cannot edit the details anymore...!! So, if the form I going to find his teacher to sign, but not same as the online application form referee, was it a problem?
Or should I keep going to find the same person as who I filled with?

appointment booked on 15 Jan, not much time left.... anyone can help? :shock:

Thanks regards,

No it won't. Explain what happened in a cover note and supply the correct details there.
