Can a UK indefinite leave to remain sticker in an expired passport be used alongside a valid passport for travelling?
I am a UK national as are all my children, but my wife is not. She does however have an indefinite leave to remain sticker in her old expired passport. Will she still be able to travel, using her old and new passports together?
