Mandatory to submit PR card with AN application?

[kkseding]

Hello Gurus,
I am a PR holder in the process of sending in my AN application and I am abit confused with the Section 6 Biometric enrolment. My question is thus; Is it mandatory for me to submit my current PR card with my AN application?

I was actually thinking of a holiday whilst my application is being decided. Kindly advise..

Yes, DCPR/PRC is a mandatory prerequisite for naturalisation if you acquired settled status on EU migration route.
It is to prove your status and not about biometrics.

Thank you for your prompt response. I understand that this is a prerequisite. However am I mandated to submit my Permanent Residence Card with the AN Application?. I note that in the form, section 6.12 states that "If you do not submit your BRP with this application, you must return it to the Home Office no later than 5 days from the date you attended your Citizenship Ceremony or the date you were
issued with a certificate of naturalisation, so that it can be securely destroyed. ...."

I am wondering if the submission of a PR card with AN application is optional.

If you apply through the NCS they will take a copy of your official documents including your passport and PR card, leaving you to retain the originals.

You have misunderstood.
The BRP being referenced there is a UK BRP for those with ILR.

The PR card is different.
Do NOT destroy your PR card
And yes, you have to submit it.

You also have to enrol biometrics for naturalisation.
