Lost BRP, can I apply for Naturalization and passport without replacement BRP?

[srathore]

Hi have lost my ILR BRP which was granted in Nov 2016, I have got police reference number for my lost card, would like to know if I have to apply for a replacement card before applying for naturalization and British citizenship or that is not required.

Does your valid passport have any stamps or vignette to confirm ILR, or do you have a letter from the Home Office confirming ILR? Otherwise I assume you need a replacement BRP.

Hello,

No I don't have stamp in my passport, I have the letter issued by Home office on my ILR application decision stating that it has been approved
