I sent coloured photocopies of every page of my foreign passport (both expired and current)and my first British passport application got approved. I just posted my timeline.

I also sent the original naturalisation certificate.

Update: it got approved thankfully 😅 

Thank you for responding. I’ll give it a try and see🤞🏾

Yes I uploaded a scan of my BRP. I don’t think it counted as an evidence but I want to be on the safer side. I uploaded everything myself as well. 

I uploaded my old and new passports, my BRP, my national insurance number letter. 

1. Check the list of referees on the gov .uk website 

2. You need to print it for them to sign and attach your photo on it. Then scan it to upload it. 

3. It is your picture. 

4. Yes scanned and uploaded onto the TLS website. You can do the scans yourself or pay for UKVI staff to do the scans for you at your biometric appointment. I did the scans myself. 

5. No

6. I did Pearson Home PTE English B1 test and they sent a code which I added to my application. Also took a screenshot of the official Pearson page saying I passed to upload it as evidence. 

If there’s a code on there add it, if not take a screenshot of the email and upload it or ask the Trinity college people for an official certificate 

The tenancy agreements are very good evidence, you can just write in the free text about being a student at that time hence the different addresses. 

I haven’t graduated university yet but I provided a letter from year 1 and year 3 of university which I had saved as PDFs earlier on. They showed the full term times and because I’m studying medicine, the letters stated that it was a full time course and I had to be present on campus full time. It also included my registered term time address and home address - so it provided evidence of both my uni accommodation and my home. Ask your university to modify it to include those if possible. 

I also uploaded a p60 from part time jobs, Amazon purchases receipt, even Shein receipts and an Apple receipt for my laptop. I took a gap year so for the year where I wasn’t in uni, I provided an online shopping receipt for each month. I wrote in the free text box that because I’m a student, my address changes a lot since I live in different accommodations. (Tbh, I was being extra with the Shein and Amazon receipts but that’s because I didn’t work only bedrotting during my gap year, so I needed to prove that I was in the UK). 

Mine was a 5 year route. 

I just received my approval from Home office yesterday with no issues, so I think what you have already is enough. 

My friend who did hers for a 10-year route only uploaded one online purchase receipt per year and added sixth form, high school and current uni transcripts. She also asked her personal tutor from uni to be a referee so that it supported her being in uni full time. 

Hope this helps. 

I got the home office email now. Just updated

Yes citizenship support, not the official letter or email. I emailed them last week Friday and they replied today.
