Hi folks,

I got my British passport back in 2015.I also have my ILR biometric card with me with validity till 2022.

So is it ok to keep the ILR card and british passport together with me ...or i should return the biometric card to the home office...

Please advise.

Thanks

You’ll be fined up to £1,000 if you don’t return your permit within 5 working days.

Once you’ve got your certificate of British citizenship, send your biometric residence permit back to the Home Office.

You must send your permit back within 5 working days of either:

going to your citizenship ceremony
getting your certificate of British citizenship
Cut your biometric residence permit (BRP) into 4 pieces and put it in a windowless envelope. Include a note saying you’re returning your permit because you’ve become a citizen. The note needs to include your name, date of birth and the document number (located on the front of the card).

This is only required for people who got citizenship from January 2016. Applicants who attended their ceremonies before date this are not required to send their cards back.
