Hi everyone, we are applying British citizenship for our child and really struggling with the first referee requirement.

Our situation:

• Headteacher/ GP Surgery declined due to share personal details on the form
• GP surgery said they cannot share personal details including passport number
• Private home tutor has only known child and is not a registered teacher
• Accountant knows us as parents but not the child directly

Has anyone successfully used a private tutor as first referee? Or found a way around the GP refusing to share personal details?

Any advice on who else qualifies as a professional referee for a child application would be really appreciated!
