You could say so, but I didn't have anything left to do when they confirmed that I still need the replacement BRP. It came with the £1000 penalty clause.SouthWest1 wrote:you should have guessed that BRP is not needed as long as you have been naturalised. it's sole purpose is to keep track of foreign nationals( non EU of course) in UK.
you probably panicked when you lost it and wanted to get a new one.
Good info... Thanks.milan69 wrote:I returned to UK from abroad today and on Heathrow airport I asked a border official if my ILR will cease to be valid once I am naturalized and her answer was that it will always be valid. I asked her again if once naturalized I came to border control without British passport and without certificate of naturalization would she let me enter UK, she said she would without a problem. Just thought I'd share this.
You don't have to send your BRP with your passport application at all.shahid2000 wrote:Why did you send your BRP to the passport office?
The question is for my own benefit. I have recently applied for my first adult passport after naturalization and I did not send my BRP. Was I supposed to send it??
Thanks for the info. Curious - did you fill in the landing card at Heathrow? If so, did you put British as nationality even if you flew in on a foreign passport?milan69 wrote:I returned to UK from abroad today and on Heathrow airport I asked a border official if my ILR will cease to be valid once I am naturalized and her answer was that it will always be valid.

I think ILR BRP stays valid and you can use it still even after citizenship.Amber wrote:Once you are naturalised, your ILR simply ceases to exist. Though, you should always report a lost BRP.
This post is more than a year old. Recent member experiences indicate that the ILR BRP is cancelled once you obtain British citizenship and passport.imraniqbal2010 wrote:I think ILR BRP stays valid and you can use it still even after citizenship.Amber wrote:Once you are naturalised, your ILR simply ceases to exist.

I think home office staff knows nothing about these fast changing rules. The lady who handed me over my citizen ship certificate in the council gave me a letter of instructions and particularly mentioned one line which says that after you get your British citizen ship you are suppose to return the ILR brp on a given address on free post and failing to do do can cause a financial penalty. So guys you have to return it now and you have the right to tell them to destroy your biometric record since they are not allowed to keep the biometric record of British Citizens.CR001 wrote:This post is more than a year old.
