No.

Yes.
You can however, proactively replace your card, so that it now shows Settled Status, here:

Hi thanks for your help
My last question. Can I still travel with my old card until when they issue new one ?
Thanks

Yes, as long as the expiration date printed on it has not passed.

Hi Kamoe, just a quick question. We are in the same situation as a family. Myself and my 2 children have pre-settled RCs which are valid till 2024. However, we received settled status emails in March 2022. I am planning to apply for Naturalisation next March and I hope having pre-settled RCs won't create any problem

Your settled status is recorded in the UKVI digital system which they can see of course, that's the definite proof - for naturalisation you provide the reference number from the email. The card itself won't be a problem, just submit a copy when you come to apply.

Thanks mate, much appreciated! I am a little bit detail-oriented for the last couple of months as I have to prepare/finish all documents, tests, applications, etc. for a family of 4 till next March, which will probably kill every cell in my brain
