2. The application should include the following parti-
culars :-
Full name;
Private address;
Occupation (if any);
Date and place of birth;
Full names and nationality of parents;
Date and place of marriage;
Name and nationality of former husband;
Date and place of husband's death or of the final
decree of dissolution of the marriage;
and in addition, where applicable:--
Full names of any legitimate children, with date and place of birth of each and their present residence.
Unless it appears from the above particulars that the applicant was before her marriage a natural-born British subject, the application must also show how she became a British subject.
The place of birth should be stated, where possible, in the form of a postal address, showing the province or other division of the country as well as the town or district in which the applicant was born.
Nationality should be described accurately by reference to a Sovereign State, e.g., a Russian Pole should be described as either a Russian or a Pole but should not be described as a Pole unless recognized as such by the competent Polish authorities.
3. The name of any legitimate child of the applicant who does not already possess British nationality may be included in the certificate if granted during the child's minority, and a child whose name is so included is deemed to be a person to whom a certificate of naturalization has been granted. If it is desired that the certificate should extend to any such children, a special request should be included in the application.
4. The statements in the application must be supported by a statutory declaration (which should be endorsed on the application) made by the applicant before a Commissioner for Oaths, a Notary Public, or other person authorized to administer Oaths.
The declaration must not be made before a person who is the Solicitor or Agent of the applicant.
5. The application must be supported by two persons intimately acquainted with the applicant, each of whom
must be:
(a) a natural-born British subject;
(b) a householder; and
(c) not the solicitor or agent of the applicant.
Each such person should sign at the end of the application a statement that he is so qualified, that he supports the application from personal knowledge of and intimate acquaintance with the applicant, and that he can vouch for the applicant's good character and loyalty. The period for which he has known the applicant should be stated.
