Indefinite leave to remain (private life)

Documents you'll need to apply

You’ll need to provide:

  • a current passport or other document that shows your identity and nationality
  • your biometric residence permit (BRP) or eVisa (online proof of your immigration status) if you have either of them
  • all the passports you’ve held during your time in the UK

If you’re aged 18 to 65 years old, you’ll also need to provide proof you’ve passed the Life in the UK test - you should have either a ‘unique reference number’ or a letter with a ‘test reference ID’.

You’ll need to provide a certified translation of any documents that are not in English or Welsh.

You may need to provide additional documents depending on your circumstances. You’ll be told what documents you need when you apply.
