FYI, there's no requirement to surrender your current BRC when you upgrade to a new one. See this post . I used to have Old BRC issues under EEA then upgrade it to BRC issued under eu settlement when applied for pre-settled status which had date expiring in 2024, then applied for settled status whe...

You can use the same documents you used to apply for presettled status. I used marriage cert, brp and driver’s license. That was it.

Yeah, I'm just unsure how they would verify the identity of your spouse without providing a passport

Thank you so much for your help!

You can upload marriage certificate and proof you are living together. If you are working they will check your National insurance records, so there should be no need to upload P60s. What did you upload for pre-settled status? Thanks for your reply, I have used only BRC which was granted in 2017, sh...
