If a permanent resident/ILR holder decides to transfer their existing conditions from their old passport to their new passport, which will be by way of the Form NTL, will they receive an identity card instead of a stamp or vignette, I wonder?
The general approach seems to be that (quoting from the Home Office applicant category table) "only applicants for Leave to Remain in the UK from outside the EEA or Switzerland are affected. Foreign nationals seeking indefinite leave to remain and the settled population remain unaffected by the changes, as do applicants in other immigration categories [other than those mentioned in that table] who continue to receive a vignette in their passport".
Reading further UK Border Agency guidelines, http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/while ... -passport/
, it appeats that no ID card is required to be issued.
