Lost (non current) passport - what documents needed

[bjbatra]

I am applying for ILR. I have completed over 5 years in the UK as a Tier 2 General migrant and I fulfill all the criteria.

My previous passport (covering 1 year) and BRP was stolen in a burglary in 2013 and a complaint was lodged with the police - I have the crime reference number etc. The UKBA was also informed due to the BRP being stolen.

I will carry a photocopy of the bio pages of the stolen passport and the crime reference number, but I'm wondering what to do about the absence of immigration stamps. I was out of the UK for about 80 days in that year, but have no way of proving it (other than the letter from the office).

Any advice on what documents I need to carry?

thanks

I didn't get any guidance here, but just in case someone finds this post, here's what I did:

I gave the crime reference number in the form - where they asked for the previous passport
I submitted a copy of the police letter (with crime reference number) and the biopage of the lost/stolen passport

I also carried with me copies of the flight tickets (for all the days that of exiting/entering the country) during the period I had used that passport, in lieu of the entry/exit stamps which I did not have. But that was not even required, so they had no queries at all.

Got ILR - it was quite straightforward.
