Honourable members I need to apply for PR but my passport is about to expire should I :
A) Get a new passport and send it with the old one, that still have two months left in it?
B) Should I just send the old one?

Please provide advice on what to do. THANKS

A PR card is a standalone BRP so unclear why passport expiry is significant.

Note PR is acquired automatically, it is optional to apply for a 'confirmation of PR' card.
