Hi

I have lost my old passport that contains Indefinite Leave to Remain and am worried.

What form should i use and what is the procedure to get a replacement?

FYI previously I was in UK over 20 years. currently I have been outside UK more than 2 years. My british family live with me.

thank you for your help

If you are unable to apply as a returning resident, then you may apply for a spouse visa.
