I had IELTS which was cleared in 2010 and I used for Tier1, Tier1 extension and ILR. Can I use the same IELTS certificate for english language requirement for British Naturalisation application?
as the IELTS is only valid for first 2 years so I am not sure, please confirm.

Hi.
Yes if it is a minimum B1 qualification.
If your qualification has run out
Some recognised test qualifications only last for 2 years. You can still use a B1 level qualification that you took more than 2 years ago in 2 situations.
Applying for citizenship
You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if you’re applying for citizenship and it was accepted when you settled in the UK.
