Why don't you have an ID :?:

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

You need ID.

You will have to get a new passport. You need it if you wish to apply for citizenship.

I thought there was another way, because I didn't want to pay money to transfer my visa and also for the B1 Test. If there's no option can I apply for a biometric please

You need a passport to apply for a biometric residence card.

What 'visa' do you actually hold??

For citizenship, you have to provide evidence of ILR and your original passport.
