Know where you stand.

What stands between me and the decision?

Path opens your route and lays out every requirement in order. A green tick is met and a coral dot is in progress: five years of lawful residence on a qualifying route, Indefinite Leave to Remain, English at B1 in speaking and listening shown by an approved SELT test, a degree taught in English or a majority-English-speaking nationality, the Life in the UK test, good character and your route's own financial requirement, which is the Skilled Worker salary threshold at settlement or the partner route's 29,000 GBP minimum income. Each item explains the rule in plain language and links to the official source on GOV.UK. The test facts sit here too, and the full Practice tab is one tap away.

Path is also plain about the facts people meet late. You normally hold ILR for 12 months before a citizenship application, and the spouse of a British citizen does not, and can apply after three years in the UK rather than five. Settlement applications made from 26 March 2027 need English at B2 instead of B1, so if your earliest ILR date lands after that, the app says to plan for B2. And Britain asks nobody to renounce: dual citizenship is allowed, and whether your own country lets you keep its nationality is a question for that country's law.

Every requirement can carry the evidence for it: a test certificate, a biometric residence permit, a payslip, a pass notification. Note when a document expires and that date joins What's coming a month ahead, so a certificate never lapses quietly while you are waiting. Documents stay on the phone you added them on. On iPhone they are encrypted by iOS while it is locked; on Android they will sit in the app's own private storage. On both they are kept out of the backup, so a restored phone will not bring them back, and you should keep your own copy of anything hard to replace. Belong UK never uploads them and never sees them.

What is waiting at the end?

Passport is the newest tab and the reason for all the rest: the document your road leads to. The real cover in colour with the facts that matter beside it: validity, the fee, where you apply and dual citizenship. Every figure is taken from the issuing authority's own published pages, dated and linked to the source.

Add your name, and a photo, and the passport carries them as the holder's. A pill under the cover says when you could apply, at the earliest, from the same figures your Dashboard reads, and the tab tells you what makes this passport particular: navy blue since 2020 with the royal arms on the cover, 34 pages as standard and a 54 page frequent traveller book, biometric since 2006 and the rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock embossed on the back. Valid ten years for an adult and five for a child under 16, 102 GBP online or 115.50 GBP by paper form, applied for online or on a paper form through a Post Office and issued by His Majesty's Passport Office, an agency of the Home Office.
