Brc expiring in july, apply now or renew and then apply for naturalisation

Hi
I have gone through the naturalisation process and am a British citizen. Now, i want to apply for my siblings, who meet the criteria just like me.
They still need to pass the life in uk and english test. They currently have settled status but hold old brc received when they were granted pre settlement. Those brc are expiring next month. Govt. is also rolling out the electronic visa system for which we have not received any links to register.
What would be the best and faster path forward, renew the brcs normally and apply for naturalisation, wait to be put on e system (would they need valid id for that as well? Cuz theirs is expiring next month) and then apply, or apply with the expired brcs as they hold indefinite leave to remain.
thank you

Should I contact a lawyer?

What can a lawyer do you can't do yourself?
Do siblings have the EUSS grant emails/letters with reference numbers? That's all that is required.
The card is only required if you need to travel in the meantime. EUSS is an online status and doesn't normally expire (card shows the card expiry date). Write a covering note explaining but it's not a reason for refusal.

I would apply for a BRC in case they need to show their right to work/live in the UK or travel before the naturalisation application is approved, you can apply for naturalisation with the present BRC even though it is expiring soon.

Hi my BRC has been expired today nd I trying to find out can I apply for new BRC but home office is not issuing new BRC.

How can I prove my immigration status abroad if I travel and try to come back uk bfore 31 December?

I don't know if you can, to be honest. You can apply for a new BRP to last for 2 months, but doubt it's worth it.

For naturalisation you don't need a current valid card. But for travel currently I expect so as eVisa is not live yet.
