10 Year ILR address proof requirement

While applying for 10 year ILR route, do I need to submit address proof for all 10 years? I was staying in shared accommodation for most of the time.
In March-2024 I moved to an individual apartment and will be able to show address proof (utility bills). If I apply for ILR 10 year route in December-2025, is it enough if I show address proof from March-2024?

Such requirement does not exist under the long residence rules.

I moved to UK in December-2015 and will be eligible for ILR in couple of months (10 year route). I am currently in 5 year Skilled Worker Visa expiring in August-2027. My dependents moved to UK in July-2024 on skilled worker dependent visa and have validity till August-2027. If I apply for ILR 10 year route, what are the options available for my dependent.

1) Will they be able to continue in skilled worker dependent Visa?
2) Can they apply for skilled worker dependent visa extension when their current one expire?
3) Can my dependents apply for ILR, after completing 5 year in UK or do they need to wait for 10 years, since I applied for ILR through the 10 year route?

Documents required for ILR application 10 year route

I am little confused regarding the documents required for applying ILR 10 year route, when I check gov.uk site, it says mandatory document are all passports held during 10 year period, latest BRP and eVisa. It also mentioned about additional documents to be submitted based on individual circumstance, this part is not clear. I moved to UK December-2015 in ICT-short term for 1 year, then moved to ICT-long term for 5 years and then switched to skilled worker visa, I was employed for the whole duration till date.

My family joined me as skilled worker dependent around June-2024.

I have utility bills only for the past 18 months.

What are the additional documents that I will need to submit in addition to passport and BRP, any guidance on this will be very helpful?

Thanks

This is common knowledge that the online list is not accurate at all and it is generic. Only the passports covering the last 10 years are needed. No need to send bills, etc. You also do not need to send any documents regarding your family, they have nothing to do with your application

Thank you so much for your reply, In my passport I could not find the Immigration stamp for the last entry to UK. I have given my passport along with 3 passport of my family members to the immigration officer, I can find entry stamp in my family members passport but looks like they missed to stamp my passport.

Will this be a problem for my ILR application?
Do I need declare this in my ILR application?

UKVI relies on their systems to see exit and entry records. Exit checks were introduced more than 10 years ago so they do not need to even see your passport to access this data at all. They may only make look at the passport as the last resort.
