Proof of residence

[malinbridge5343]

Hi all,

I've applied for naturalisation and booked an appointment.

Regarding evidence of 3 years' residence in the UK:

I was physically outside the UK 3 times in the qualifying period, with each absence lasting only a few days. Two of these were in Europe and I have stamps for entry & exit for these. One of them is when I went to Korea where my passport wasn't stamped. I used an e-gate when I came back to the UK, so it wasn't stamped then either.

My first question is, for this third absence without stamps, do I need to provide further evidence (e.g., boarding passes, proof of being in the UK following the return) to show that I came back?

Second, my current passport was issued in the UK before the qualifying period began, so I don't have a stamp for initially entering the UK there. But I have this stamp on a different passport (from 2019). Do I need to scan and upload this old passport too?

Thanks!

Upload both passports. No problem for missing stamps.

Bumping this post to double check that this is all I need:

For proof of residence, I've uploaded three passports.

First passport from 2019 which has a spouse visa sticker and the date of entry is stamped on the visa - this passport expired in 2019.

Second passport issued in Dec 2019. This one is completely empty as I didn't physically leave the UK for several years.

Third, current passport which covers the actual qualifying period (3 years) and has a few stamps for visiting Europe which I declared in the application. I also visited Korea but used e-gates at both ends so no stamps for this trip.

Is this really all I need to show? I'm a bit confused as to how this proves that I lived here for the past 3 years, without anything like a letter from an employer, council tax bills, and so on.

Thanks.

You only need to provide the passport covering your qualifying period - I must have gotten mixed up in my earlier reply. No need for bills, P60 etc. as weird as it may seem, a passport covering your qualifying period is indeed all you need when it comes to proving your residence for citizenship.
