And indefinite leave to remain/enter or having no time limit on your stay are not the only ways of being free of immigration time restrictions. Some British nationals who are not British citizens may have a "right of readmission". People in the UK under EU rules won't have indefinite leave to remain but rather permanent residence, which may or may not be noted in the passport and which after a certain length of residence can occur "automatically" with no intervention from the holder or the Home Office. And non-British citizens with the right of abode will not have any sort of immigration "leave" because they are completely free from immigration control (in the same way that British citizens are).
But are you in a position of not knowing how to proceed?
There are six types of British national: British citizens (who have the right of abode in the UK), British subjects (some of whom have the right of abode in the UK and some do not), British overseas territories citizens, British overseas citizens, British nationals (overseas), and British protected persons. For some British nationals (without the right of abode) who would in other circumstances be granted ILR are in fact given the right of readmission to the UK, which does not lapse. But this would generally be shown in the person's passport.sally_smith wrote:What makes one a British national and how is right of readmission established. If passport or letter not shown, what precise document is accptable- how will one's status be verified without passport or letter, save I have permanent residence or right of abode.

Wikipedia is a reasonable place to look for information about all these types of British nationality.
But it's still not clear what the exact issue is here?...
A passport is not mandatory for naturalisation. Many people, such as refugees, do not have one.Also, how does someone without a passport apply for Naturalisation??? This is baffling!!
