Keep ILR BRP once you get British Passport?

[JohnnyZee]

Hi guys,

I am wondering if one keeps their ILR Biometric Residence Permit once they have naturalised as a British citizen and have obtained a British passport?

Thanks a lot.

I have, mainly for sentimental reasons due to the cost of my journey and to remind myself of what it has taken to get to where I got.

If you choose not to keep your BRP, send it to HO with a request to be destroyed as the chip contains all your info.

You can keep the ILR BRP, but it will not be of use for international travel, if that is your question. When you get British citizenship, the biometrics supplied by you for the BRP are destroyed by the Home Office.

So, you will need your British passport or a non-British passport endorsed with a CoE-RoA (only if you have never applied for a British passport) to enter the UK.
