    I dont think so, coz once you passed the test thats it. I think all you need to do is keep a copy for yourself after you apply for you ILR coz they will ask you another proof when you apply for your citizenship.

    joebloggs is very good with this where is he? hehehehehehehe.

    no, that why you need to keep your certificate safe till you apply brit. citizenship if you lose it you need to take another test again

    They may keep it when you apply for ILR so you don't have the problem of keeping it safe.

    no, you do not always get it back when you apply for ILR.

    but you are asked for it when you apply for citizenship, but i think there is a question on the citizenship app form, asking if you sent your cert for when you applied for ILR

    but I've heard of a few cases where the person ticked the box, and was still asked for the Cert, and if you are asked for it, and don't have it ....so get it photocopied, just in case, you wouldn't want to take it again

    That's what happened to my wife. Luckily we had kept the certificate so we could send it to them again, even though they had already seen it.

    if you apply ILR you need to ask them to return your life in the uk test certificate back, pretty ovbious if you don't ask them they keep it bcoz they wants you to pay a money again

    It already happened. Someone lost his copy and the HO asked him to re-take the test or he cannot apply for naturalization..

    what did you apply for ILR ?

    maybe they will send it back to you , if you don't get your cert back, there is a question and a box to tick on the naturaliastion form, saying you have already sent your cert when you applied for ILR. just tick that box and pray . hopefully they will not ask you for it again, even thou you don't have it (that's if they don't send it back)
