You automatically become a permanent resident following 5 years as a qualified person. Whether that is as a family member - durable relationship or spouse. Confirmation of PR could be sought on form EEA4.

Hi Amber
thanks for your quickly reply, Do you mean that i can apply PR now as i live five years in UK
do you mean i don't need to wait until 2015 when my residence permit expires.

Thank you so much for your help.

Thanks in advance

No. It doesn't affect your status or your dates.
