ILR to BRP documentation

[gursam]

Hi.

Help please, my father came to the uk in the 60's and was granted ILR status in the same period. He has had a stamp on his passports indicating his ILR status. He now would like a brp card. I am currently trying to complete the online form but is asking for the following -
Evidence to prove your continuous residency in the UK since becoming a permanent resident
The document(s) you provide must cover every year since you became a permanent resident. Example documents include: council tax letters; letter(s) from a GP confirming dates of attendance; letter(s) from a school or college confirming dates of attendance; electricity, gas or water bills; or letter(s) from employer(s) confirming employment

Unfortunately we dont have documentation going back to the 60's and he has moved a couple of times while living in the uk. What can I do provide this evidence or can it be bypassed?

Thanks

Taj

Not an expert on this one but I don't think you can bypass this ....
He already got all(?) his passports from being granted ILR, presumably all stamped with ILR status plus stamped in from travels.
Pull together as much as you can find (there's probably more thank you may think) - such as work related, property related, Health/NHS/Pension related, copies of documents/contracts he has signed, and of course correspondence from the Home Office.
Others may have more insight.

He now would like a brp card.

Do you realise that these applications can take up to 6 months AND any BRP card he receives will only be valid till 31st December 2024 when they are being phased out and a new digital system is being introduced.
