Is an ILR viginette a document certifying permenant residency?

[az121212]

Question on the application form is

"Are you either:◦An EEA national who has been issued with a document certifying permanent residence"

I am an EEA national with an EEA passport. In an old old passport I have my ILR viginette which states 'Residence Permit'. When it was issued my country was not part of the EU or EEA.

I do not have any BRP, or any other cards related to immigration.

Do I answer yes and give the number starting with UK (Not UKF as it states on the application) or no and answer yes to the later question asking if I have ever received ILR?

Thanks

You need to clarify: does the entry/stamp/vignette in your old passport say "indefinite leave to remain"? Can you provide the exact wording?

If it's the "ILR" then you are fine and go straight for naturalisation - say YES. Provide this as proof. If not then you will have to apply for the DCPR. BRP is irrelevant in this context - not required for EU citizens.

Thanks for your reply.

It says 'Residence Permit' at the top, 'Valid Until: Indefinite', 'Type of Permit: Settlement' and 'Remarks: No Time Limit on holder's stay in the UK'.

So I can select yes and input the UKxxxxxxx number from the top right?

Yes - "indefinite" and "no time limit" is the important wording. Input the number as is.

Thank you.
