Naturalisation - Referee Forms
« on: December 16, 2021, 01:07:11 PM »
Hi, a quick question for anyone who's been through the citizenship process .

On the printed referee forms it states "On the back of the applicant's photograph, please write their full name and date of birth. The photograph should then be glued into the space aside".

Now I feel a bit dumb just asking this, but are you supposed to apply glue to all of the back of the photograph (including where you've added the information, or should it just be glued on one edge so it can be "flipped" to read what'son the back.

As I said, feeling very dense asking this, but we've learned in the last 5 and a bit years not to assume anything with regard to this process!

Cheers

I actually can't remember what we did, I think I might have left it flippable. I have a feeling that we've discussed on here that it's probably just in case the photo gets detached from the form though so I don't think it will matter which way you do it.

This was my understanding--just in case it gets separated from the form. I think I used one of those glue stick things to attach mine.

Yep - same here. Though it might seem a bit redundant this is the reason. I know to be all procedural, what I did was show the referee the form, then stick the photo to the form in front of them, then have them complete it. Totally overkill, but hey, they witnessed it :)
