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

obtaining referee nowadays is very difficult because people are very hesitant to give out their own personal information especially especially something like a passport number both referees forms are identical if your referees do not meet the british citizenship requirements listen your application will be denied and you will not be able to get a refund for your british citizenship application which basically means that 1 349 and 20p is down the drain [Music] hi guys welcome back to my channel i hope you're all doing well thank you so much for joining me once again back onto my channel my name is belinda and if you've not already subscribed please don't forget to press the subscribe button as well as turn on your notification bell so you get a notification every time i upload so guys today i'm once again back with another british citizenship application video okay i did say in my previous videos that i am creating a series on this channel in regards to obtaining your british citizenship because i am personally in the process of applying for my british citizenship so i just thought you know what due to not much information being out there especially if you are doing your own application so if you are doing your application independently it is always of value to actually know what you need to do this is the fourth video in the series so i have already created three videos prior to this video basically about my british citizenship application i have completed a video in regards to my life in the uk exam i have completed this difficult guideline in regards to completing your online british citizenship application and lastly i've also created a non-acquisition form video which is basically me being able to retain my other nationality that being my south african nationality to be specific so that i do not lose my south african nationality when applying for my british citizenship so i also completed them this video is not step four as if some of you may be expecting what's the four is yet to come guys this is basically me going into detail in regards to your referees i did mention in my other step for step application video that i will be creating a separate video because there's quite a lot of information to take in when choosing referees for your british citizenship application and without this reference from two referees guys you cannot continue with your application because any british citizenship online application there is a section where you need to fill out the referee details that you have obtained from your referee declaration form so in this video guys we are going to be talking about who can be your referee who can't be your referee what is required from your referees so we're going to be talking about everything related to um referees for your british citizenship application and i'm going to make this video as short as possible i will say that but then it goes lengthy but i'm going to try and bring out all the points that will help you with your referee um application prior to applying for your british citizenship so basically if you are in the process of applying for your british citizenship or you're going to start applying for your british citizenship even if this video is not applicable to you just want to be nosy to find out what this video is about please keep on watching so like i mentioned before if you do not have your referee you cannot complete your online citizenship application hence i say prior to starting your british citizenship application already have your referee forms in place so your referees can scan the phone back to you or give it back to you hard copy but it doesn't really matter either either now i'm going to show you guys how the referee form looks like so for the purpose of this video guys i printed out two however i do want to say that these referee forms are exactly the same please take note that these referee forms are exactly the same even though they have different requirements however the forms are still the same i'm going to insert the form once again if you haven't seen it clearly obviously from where i'm holding it from i'm going to insert it here on the screen so also guys i do want to say that i'm going to put the link to these forms down in the description box so that it will be more easier for you to download if you don't know what forms they are okay but you can get them from the gov website it's quite easy and accessible so i'm gonna leave that also down in the description box below all right now the main question is why do you need a referee so referees basically will identify and confirm that you are who you say you are okay so that is just a confirmation hence it is a requirement now although there is no specific time frame however the time that the referee has signed on the dotted line which is on this area here guys then make sure that it is not fall from the time you apply for your british citizenship okay so what i mean by the say now your referee has decided to sign on the 1st of march make sure that your british citizenship application is submitted that very weak so you don't leave this too long now there is nothing written about how long you can leave it for in the national framework on the gov website however it is more advisable to have your british citizenship application as well as the date that your referee signed within date if that makes any sense so not too long from each other next guys we're going to talk about who can't stand in for you as a referee for your british citizenship application so firstly the person who's going to stand in as your referee cannot be related to you in any sort of way so what i mean by this they can't be your relative husband wife any sort of way they can't be related to you secondly they cannot be working for home office so if you've got somebody who you know who's possibly working for home office unfortunately they cannot stand in as your referee as well or if you are not doing your application by yourself so if you've got some sort of representative they can also not be able to stand in for you as your referee all right and lastly if somebody has been imprisoned within the last 10 years they also cannot stand in for reference for you my advice is try to find somebody who does not have any sort of criminal records just to avoid the hurdles okay even if it was in the last 15 years that they have imprisoned it is what it is i'm guessing it's life however try to find somebody who's got a clear record so in other words who's got a good character we're still going to get into the terminology of good character because you will come across that terminology when completing your british citizenship application okay now getting into who can actually stand in as your referee what are the british citizenship requirements for your rift now ing to the gov website which gives you all the information that you need in regards to your british citizenship application they've got requirements for the two referees so first things first you need to get two referees okay also guys quick disclaimer guys a referee for a child and a referee for an adult is going to be different so if you're going to be building a british citizenship application for a child the referee requirement is going to be different than to that of an adult okay so obtaining a referee for a child and obtaining a referee for an adult is two different requirements so that person who's going to be a referee for your child if you are applying for british citizenship for your child needs to be involved professionally in your child's life so that could either be for instance a social worker or a teacher who has known the child for more than three years that is one of the requirements okay so that's just what i wanted to throw in the extra so going back to adults guys as adults so we need to have two referees okay so in no specific order the first referee guys needs to be somebody of any nationality doesn't matter what nationality they are but they need to be residing in the uk guys so whoever you're going to use as a referee needs to be residing living working in the uk legally so now let's start again the first referee can be of any nationality as long as they hold a professional standing are over the age of 25 and have known you for three years that is the requirement for the first referee now in regards to professional standing guide i'm gonna insert a list here and um this list is basically what they mean in regards to professional standing so as you guys can see the lists they have included accountants you've got nurses there you've got offices paralegals and etc and etc so there's quite an extensive list i'm also going to add that list down in the description box so you guys can have a look so you need to have a referee who holds a professional stunning and this is what they mean by professional standing okay now the second referee guys needs to be somebody who holds a british passport now that's the main difference between the first referee and the second referee the first traffic can be anybody of any nationality the second referee needs to be somebody who holds a british passport okay even if both of your referees hold british um passport that's even better as well so they need to hold the british prospect they need to have known you for over three years they need to be over 25 and it doesn't really matter what kind of profession they are doing as long as they can provide you with a british passport number now if you think about it asking somebody to give you a british passport number is very private isn't it so that's where people are finding it hard because many people are very hesitant to give out their passport numbers for people to complete their british citizenship application so just a quick disclaimer there's been a lot of questions about whether the home office would contact the referee so your home office would not necessarily contact the referee however they would do a background search on the referee to make sure that they say who they say they are okay if that makes any sense so going back to these forms guys so this is how the form looks like guys obviously this is my form okay for the purpose of this video i am going to be holding up an id which is obviously my own id if you guys can see that maybe maybe not um so at the back of the id a requirement is that you write your full names if you've got three names you need to put all three your surname as well as your date of birth now the person that's going to write their full name and date of birth on this photo id is yourself it's not the referee it will be yourself so this photo guys you are going to attach this onto this area here guys if you guys can see that this area right over here when you give it to your referee because your referee needs to have a look at your picture and confirm to say yes this is you in the picture all right so that is one of the thing that they have to do now your referee has to sign and date this they have to sign that they have no sort of knowledge as to why you should not obtain your british citizenship etc etc etc if you're going to give this to somebody who does not meet the requirements to be your referee for your british citizenship application then the person can be looking up to a 5 000 pound fine or three months of imprisonment which basically means that they will have a criminal record which makes it ever so hard to get rid of okay so like i said once they have completed the form guys they can either scan it back to you because anyway you're gonna have to scan it on the uk because or they can give it back to you in hard copy whichever one is easier for you and them so bottom line is obtaining a referees is a requirement for your british citizenship application it is mandatory without it you cannot proceed with your british citizenship application okay and if you do not have the right referee that meets the british citizenship requirement you will be denied which is citizenship so hopefully guys this video made some sort of sense in regards to referees okay if you've got any further question guys please don't forget to ask me those questions down below i'll be more than happy to answer them if i can any information that i just said in my video right now will be linked in the description box below like i said before i am creating a series i don't know yet what video is going to come out next
