Expired passport with ILR

[mauricetmk]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question.

I currently hold ILR, however my passport expired back in July. Do i need a valid passport in order to remain in the UK legally even though i have no plan to travel overseas anytime soon?

Trusted google doesnt yield any results and I hope you guys can help.

Thanks,

M

Hello,

You do not require a valid passport as you have rightly mentioned, as far as you do have a valid BRP card. I can see that you don't have any travel plans at the moment so you are very much alright.

Thanks and I hope that helps you.

Bear in mind that if/when you apply for British Citizenship, HO might require proof of residence for the period you do not have a valid passport.
