Answer
It has always been open to Caribbean-born UK residents to apply for documentation confirming their right to reside here, and for a British passport once they became naturalised as British Citizens. The vast majority of the Windrush generation already held documentation confirming their status here, but those who have not are those the Windrush Taskforce are helping now.
