Passport Lost

Post by Ankit_Jain » Mon Oct 25, 2021 9:14 pm

Hello All, I need some help with my SET (O) ILR application.
We need to upload the scanned copy of all our travel documents (passports in my case) we used to travel to/ from UK. Unfortunately, I had lost my passport on one of the business trip to Paris. I do have the new passports I got issued after that. So what can I do for the lost passport? Do they use the stamps on the passport to verify our trips to/ from UK? Since I lost one of the passport what can I show for the evidence for my travel?

Kindly help as soon as possible as my application is due in next 3 days.

Provide a cover letter and explain. UKVI has records of entry and exit for the last 5 years in their systems as they collect this data

Thank you very much Zimba for your prompt reply.
Sure I will write a cover letter.
Yesterday, I also came to know about the Subject Access Records (SAR), where we can request UKVI to provide the entry exit information to/ from UK.
So I am applying for the that as well but it says it will take them one month to respond.
Any idea if one month is just guidelines and may be they do reply usually earlier?

Thanks in advance for all the help and guidance.
Regards
Ankit

SAR has its own timeline. UKVI seems to be slow these days, so may take even longer. This is not an issue for you so I suggest not to overthink this
