How to eSign a document: eSignature legitimacy for Acknowledgement of Resignation in United Kingdom

hello everyone welcome back to our channel today i will be talking to you about this referee form but before i start i just want to say that i have created a mini series here about my step-by-step application for british citizenship here in the uk so far i have made three videos video one is about my british citizenship application timeline or the processing time and then the second one is about how to apply for british citizenship online where i showed you the form to fill in and how to fill them up and the third one is the documents that i have submitted to ukvcass to support my application i hope that you can check out all those videos as well and if you would like to get notified on the next videos relating to this mini series i hope that you can click um the subscribe button and the notification bell so you won't miss out on those videos right so let's start so for british citizenship application we will need two referees who will confirm our identity first referee is a person of any nationality who has professional standing the government website has provided this list of professional standing and i will show it to you here this is the most accurate list that i could find in the web i always refer to the government website to make sure that i have the updated list and the most accurate one so you can refer to this list for your first referee so for your second referee they must normally be the holder of a british citizenship passport and they could either be a professional person or over the age of 25. for child applicant the first referee should be a professional who has engaged with the child in a professional capacity such as a teacher health visitor social worker or minister of religion and for second referee for child applicant is the same for the adult applicant which is normally be the holder of a british citizen passport and either a professional person or over the age of 25. i will also show here other specific requirements for the referees these can also be found on the form itself which the referees must not be a relative must not be a solicitor or agent representing you on this application must not be related to the other referee must not be employed by the home office must not have been convicted of an impressionable offense during the last 10 years unless that conviction can be disregarded in line with the table shown in the guide and and they must have known the applicant personally and they must be willing to give full details of their knowledge of the applicant and they must advise the home office of any reason why the applicant should not be registered so those are specific requirements when choosing the referee if you remember on my second video where i showed the british citizenship form online there is a section there for the referees so when you already selected your referees these are the information that they must freely provide to you to be able to complete that form and these include the full name their addresses for the last three years their date of birth their profession their mobile number or phone number their email address and if they have british passport their british passport number and the last one is their relationship to you you will need this information as input to the british citizenship application form online during your online application it will give you this form to print out and this is called the referees and identity form it's a two-page form which you will need to give to your referee to fill out but before that you will need to provide a photo to be put on here there is a link here to show you the requirements on on the rules for your photograph which i will show you now so this is the digital copy of the form and there is a link here on the rules for photos for passports and if you read through this page you will see the rules and some examples on what are approved and what are not approved so it says here don't smile keep your mouth closed should be plain rather than textured and rather than having an object in the background there should be no fashion haird wear or hair accessories and um there should be no shadow on the face and there shouldn't be any shadow behind the head okay so i had my photographs from the photo me photo booths in available in supermarkets like sainsbury's or tesco's so they are really good in them giving you the acceptable passport photos i used to have four but i use the other two already on my application so this is how they look like once you've got your photo it says here passport photo 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 so now that you have a referee form and your photos these are now ready to be handed over to your referees but before that if you notice at the back or on the second page at the declaration section it says here that your referee must declare that i declare and confirm that to the best of my knowledge the details of the applicant given in this application are correct and that my details as a referee given in this application are correct it also says here that i understand that i could be fined up to 000 pounds or go to prison for up to three months if i knowingly give false information so it means that the referee must have a little look at your application to check that the details provided there are correct or accurate so to um to resolve that uh if you remember during my first video i told you that after my online application they will give you a pdf summary of all the information that you have provided during your application and that one you can print and i suggest that you print out that pdf and put it together with your referee form and photo and give it to your referee if they want to have a look at your application so it could be either handed over to him or whether you need to post it as well give a copy of your application form completed application so they can have a look and double check and then if they're happy with it then they can proceed with the declaration and to complete this form so now to demonstrate i will act as my referees to show you how to fill up the form and also to complete the back of the photo so yeah let's just have a look so this is just an example of how to complete the photo and it says here on the back of the applicant's photograph please write the their full name and date of birth so let's say it's jane smith is the name of app of the applicant and date of birth is 01 january um 1990 so that should be enough and then i've already completed the name of applicant which is this one and at the back [Applause] if i am the referee and my name is samantha lee i'll just put my full name my signature and date and the date i've signed it so on scanning it for my case i followed the instruction and glued it here and scan this page and also scan the second page so i have two pages for this declaration some people um also to be able to show the back of the photo they will put it this way and scan it like that as well as put it this way and scan it like that so they will have two pages of the front page and also the third page is the back but for my case as i've said i've i've just glued it and always only submitted this page and the second page so but i didn't see any problem with that so yeah that's how i did it yeah so this is my actual referee form that i have submitted to the home office and this is the way i put it i glued the photo here and just scanned it like this and yeah it was accepted and i've done it to the two referee forms that i had so once you have the scanned copy of the two referee forms you will have to upload it to the uk weakest website and you will see in my other video on the documents that i have uploaded on which section of that page you will have to upload the reference form or the referee declaration form so yeah i hope that this has given you an idea on how to resolve or sort out your reference or your referee declaration form and if you haven't subscribed yet i hope that you can click the subscribe button and the notification bell so you will be notified on my next video which is about the biometric appointment at the moment i'm still waiting for my citizenship ceremony letter and i'm patiently waiting and hoping that it will come soon so i can share it with you and share the ceremony and you will have an idea on how it looks like um i hope for the best on your application and thank you for
