Evidence for proof of living and proof of freedom from immigration with no BRP

Hi,
I haven't seen anyone with my situation and just paid for my application, where I now have to submit my documents and I'm not sure what to do.
I currently have a Thai passport, I was adopted by a BC and was given ILR and came to UK in 1992 at the age of 11 years old. I don't have the original passport from that year with the ILR visa stamp but I do from 2003 in 3 passports prior and have been using that stamp since (endorsed from each passport) to travel and for proof of eligibility to work and live here.

As I had planned to apply for citizenship, I was told I didn't need to apply for BRP, with the ILR stamp in my passport.
What would I require to use as proof of living and proof of freedom from immigration time restriction in this case. I have been living here almost 27 years.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Your passport with ILR stamp is all you need for proof of free from immigration control. You don't need to apply for a biometric card first.

Your residence, your passports and any official documents, like P60s, you have to prove you live here and have not left the UK for 2 years or more.
