Could someone please tell me where to find date when someone was granted IRL. I need it for kids citizenship application and can't see it on their immigration status and unfortunately don't have initial emails stored anymore. Thanks in advance

Do you have the BRP or the letter that granted the kid ILR? If this happened recently you can also do a SAR with UKVI.

No I don't have BRP and applied for her ILR about in 2021 and I don't think I ever get any printed letter, only emails.

Then request a SAR. Why do you not have the BRP?

Never been asked for BRP. I don't know if it is required for people arriving during Brexit transition period but I'm here over 18 years.
Thanks for the SAR suggestion but unfortunately I don't have a time to wait 1 month. :cry:

Did you get status under EUSS or a long time ago with permanent residence?
If through EUSS they should have sent you an email. If it is a very long time ago, you should have a permanent residence card? If not known just put down the month and year and explain it has been long ago. You will need to provide proof of your ILR though so you need to retrieve a residence card or some other evidence about it - the onus of proof is on you. A SAR may not even be enough if your ILR goes this far back.

Yes through EUSS and they sent an email, but unfortunately I don't have them. Thank you for your helpful replies.

I suggest again you should ask for a SAR - you will then be able to use that as proof of ILR, as you would need to supply also the URN which I imagine you don't have. May I ask why you don't have time to wait for the results of the SAR?

I have a proof or ILR only don't have a date when me and my kids gain it. Can't wait a month as I have fee waiver token which must be used within 28 days.

I'd say submit a SAR straight away, apply saying you don't remember the date, providing at leats the month and year which I hope you would remember (unless you receive the SAR back before you need to apply, in which case just put the correct data). You can wait for a while before submitting biometrics (you have 45 calendar days, by which your SAR will have been back) and upload the SAR and provide the date in the cover letter. Sometimes SAR results are back quickly.

Mods, I believe this topic belongs in British citizenship.
