UK Visas and Immigration guidance for staff on completing different travel document checks. It tells caseworkers about no time limit applications.

People who have indefinite leave in a legacy document, in a passport that is valid, lost, stolen or expired, or have no proof of their indefinite leave status, can have their indefinite leave transferred to a biometric residence permit by making a no time limit application.
