Hello, as of now, it seems that consent form was not required as part of my citizenship application process, is that ok? The only mandatory documents they required were the references and their signatures (alongside the checklist they gave with passport, degree certificate etc) but no consent forms. I'm not applying on behalf of anyone but myself and also during the online application process, I was asked to declare that I am the applicant (which I checked the box for, obviously). I wonder if they've changed or I'm missing something hmm

How to apply uk and what requirements to submit where submit a documents

[@lilliehentrichhulme5885]

I filled in the application for British citizenship online and I was expecting there to be a point where I would be able to upload all the supporting documents. But there wasn't. There is no "further actions" on my application. Instead I was given a document checklist with an address on, so that I can post the documents. Seeing as I live overseas, that seems a bit silly, but I cannot for the life of me find any information about where I can send scanned copies of my documents. Do you know why that is? :)

[@eliehawat1551]

Hello, thanks for the video, i wana ask you did you sent your passport with the application all of it or you justed scanned every page and send it online scanning

Hello. I didn’t include a cover letter on my citizenship application. If you feel you wanted to say some explanation or clarifications on your application, I think it’s ok to include a cover letter, but I think it’s not required if your application is straight forward application.

Dear The Wooloffs:) Your videos are very helpful. May I ask.... Would it be suitable to prove my residency for the UK naturalization process with just a HMRC letter or subject access request letter from HMRC which states my employment, tax contributions etc during my time in UK? I know people sometimes send a pile of documents when it comes to their residency, but as I know, the HMRC letter is just one or two pages. Would this be enough? Kind regards
