ILR Long residence application (lost passport)

[tkchaturvedi]

Hi
I will be applying soon for long residence (came on a Tier2 ICT Jan 2011) in Dec2020 (28 days before). However I lost my passport back in 2019 which showed all entry and exit dates - got a fresh one issued. I was also able to locate entry and exit dates through my travel history. I tried the SAR request but to my surprise it has no travel history in the document. Am now not clear what else I can attach to my application (all previous passports are listed but I dont have them), should I also write some cover note and what else I can add?

Do you have a copy of the full passport?

Adding to @CULLINAN's post above. If you have a full copy of the lost passport, then that's all you need. If not, I'm sure it asks you when you're filling out the Set LR form, whether your old passport(s) is in your possession. If you select "No", you will then see a list of documents you need to provide instead.

No I do not.

It does not ask me if I hold any previous passports just about the current one, besides they ask about any other government issued ID. I will fill this part as Yes and lets see if this offers an alternative. Any other suggestions please let me know - the list of documents is still showing previous passports.

How do you plan to prove you have been in UK legally for last 10 years?

If you have not submitted your application, I strongly suggest going through all the questions again carefully (and trying different combinations of answers). I distinctly remember that the form instructed you on what documents to provide if you can't provide your old passport...and I hope my memory is not failing me here. The government ID question is irrelevant.
