Citizenship with lost passport

Post by confused90 » Sun Apr 07, 2024 1:49 pm

Hello,

I’ve been holding an ILR since 2017, and my passport held until 2024 was lost. I have a police report, and a replacement passport.

I’ve recently travelled back to UK from a holiday, the immigration officers didn’t care and just stamped my passport as usual.

I’m in the midst of applying for citizenship now, I have SA302 since I’ve been self employed for the past few years as evidence.

I don’t have council tax bills as I’ve been couch surfing, staying at friend/family places or hotels until now. I intend to rent an apartment in the coming few days so will have current utilities bill as evidence.

Is there anything that I could add? I’ll be adding a cover letter with the police report, and my previous SA302 from HMRC as evidence. Would this suffice?

Thank you for your help

I would use SA302 and tax returns for every year. Utility bills are not accepted evidence of residence for naturalisation.

Thank you.

Yes, I'll be providing SA302 for the past 5 years along with the police report of lost passport and writing it all out in a cover letter.

Thanks
