How to get ILR transferred to the passport?

If ILR is on a separate document - it's an A4 sheet with "Permanent Resident" information and photo - how does one get it transferred to a passport instead of having to carry the document separately whenever travelling?

TIA

It happens quite a lot with asylum seekers.

It also happens if there is no blank page in your passport, your passport has expired etc. But, yes, I can see it may also apply to asylum seekers.

The background is not important. The question is how to get the ILR endorsed in a valid passport.

Thanks for the link. Yes, that answers the question.

What a rip-off! It's £165 to put the stamp in the passport. Bear in mind that there's no extensive digging around, going through lots of paperwork etc., that you would do for an ILR application. That's all been done (and charged exhorbitantly for already). All that's needed is to check the records that this person is entitled to an ILR and then endorse the passport - probably takes all of 10 minutes.

Crooks!

Is there any disadvantage to just continue using the separate Permanent Resident certificate? After all, it has no expiry date on it.

None at all.

Just the convenience of having it endorsed. Or else when you travel, you have to carry the passport and ILR separately. It could get lost dude.

I suppose there's some inconvenience but it seems minor. You could pin it to a page in your passport but there's always the chance that when you send off for some visa or the other someone detaches the Permanent Resident sheet and loses it.

If the worst happened, what are the consequences? The ILR is not going to be revoked just because the sheet was lost surely? Would it be just like losing a passport that had ILR endorsement? What's the procedure in that case?

(BTW, it's £165 for the we'll-drag-our-heels service and £515 for what I'd call a normal turnaround time to put a stamp in a passport. Legal robbery!)
