Default English Language

Hi guys,

Been surfing on here for past year or so picking up tips from a lot of your posts. Need some help with the issue of Language Proficiency.

I am currently and always have been a citizen of the UK. Enlgish is my 1st and only lanuguage however I am wondering how I go about proving this without sitting a proficiency test.

I understand that you can submit a written explanation that my mother tongue is english but I am unsure as to what the format of this submission should be.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi
I think that this is covered by all the education documentation you will have submitted. If you've had an english education, that covers the proof of language bit. i asked about that one too

As mentioned by cbats your educational documents will provide the proof requested and you will not be required to sit an english exam.

If you are unsure then add a cover letter to re-enforce and illustrate your having livved in the UK all your life.
