You need to apply for a no time limit stamp.

not sure you'll get a same day decision if you apply in person if the passport has been lost although fact ukba lost it may help. Do you have something in writing from then admitting they lost it?

Hi,

I have recently applied for FLR as a dependent on my husband's ILR. The supporting documents including the passports that were returned by home office were lost. However, I recieved the biometric residence permit card that was sent later.

We are now applying for new passports and planning to getting the visa stamps again. Could someone please answer the following:

1. Do I need to apply for stamping again, or will my biometric residence permit suffice? If I have to reapply which category/application form should I use.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
CS.

It's a bit confusing when you and your husband are posting under the same name.

They do not 'stamp' the passport when they issue a BRP. The BRP is your evidence of your right to remain in the UK and you need to carry this with you along with your passport when you leave and re-enter the country.

In my opinion you don't need to do anything although if you wanted to you write to UKBA to tell them your new passport number.

However in your husband's case as already advised he needs to apply for a NTL stamp on his passport as he doesn't have a BRP.
