Hi, I've been working on my citizenship application for a couple months. I collected my referees signatures / forms end of May. If I submit my application in August, will that be alright or do I need more recently dated referee forms?

Thanks in advance.

within 3 months it is reasonable I would say, though you can get them signed more recently and you can do that digitally.

Oh amazing! I didn't realise there was a digital option. When I was doing my application it seem to suggest I print out the forms and attach a photo?

Thanks for answering.

Everything is done digitally.

The instruction to write behind the photo and glue it to the form is an old thing from the times when the documents needed to be posted to the Home Office.

Referees can sign the form electronically as well.

I've selected the option for paid scanning to be done at the Biometric appointment. Does this mean I can't use digital signatures for my referees since I need to bring a hard copy of the referee form?

Just print the form that you got signed digitally and they will re-scan it. It's fine.
