I am not familiar with any country that will keep your old
passport when you renew it. You have not mentioned whatever happened to the
original passport so I am inclined to guess that you have lost it or do not
want to produce it for Home Office records.



There are other ways to prove that you were in the country like your Tax
record, bills and wages. I can go on and on but if I don't understand your
question I will not be doing justice to your question.  I suggest that you
ask a simple question in a simple way with all the facts. If you entered UK legally then
there are many ways you can prove because home office is more interested in the
date you entered and not in your country's passport. Your Native Country
passport is for your use only.



Please specify your question in detail, such as why this passport cannot be
produce or what happened to it in the first place?



Hope you will reword your question.



Thanks

"Most countries give you back your old passport when they issue you a new one (unless of course it was because you lost it).  They normally put a few 'Cancelled' stamps in it and cut one of the corners off."

Precisely what happened to my husbands old Australian passport when he renewed it

hi everyone

what if you don't have the original passport you entered the uk with.

the reason being that you renewed your passport .
