What is a Biometric Residence Permit?

A Biometric Residence Permit in the UK, abbreviated as BRP is a card for proof of a right to study, live or work in the UK. It can also be used as the form of an identity card, which can be provided to open a bank account in the UK or anything else there. The UK Biometric Residence Permit has varied details stored in it involving the following:

  1. Personal details including name, place of birth, date of birth
  2. Biometric details like photos of your face, fingerprints
  3. Immigration status and any kind of restriction or condition (if there is any) related to your stay in the UK
  4. Access to public funds (if available or not), including advantages and health benefits

A National Insurance number could be available and printed on the back of your Biometric Residence Permit BRP. Though not all BRPs have the same and it highly depends on factors such as the date on which it was issued along with your visa status.

 

What is the process to get a Biometric Residence Permit?

In case, your visa application is successful a biometric residence permit indefinite leave to remain will be automatically issued. It is not required to apply for a BRP individually once you have already submitted your visa or immigration application. There will be no extra fee that will be charged to get a BRP. The BRP and BRC hold a customer’s biographic details (name, date, and place of birth) and biometric information (facial image and fingerprints), and show their immigration status and entitlements while they remain in the UK. BRPs are titled ‘Residence Permit’ or ‘Short Stay Permit’ and BRCs are titled ‘Residence Card’, Permanent Residence Card’, or ‘Derivative Residence Card’. You will be granted a BRP if you have successfully met any of the following conditions:

 

  1. Apply to enter the UK for over 6 months
  2. biometric residence permit renewal
  3. Get transfer of your visa to a new passport
  4. Apply for particular home office travel documents
  5. Apply to settle in the UK

 

How much is the waiting time to get BRP?

In case, your immigration application was sent from inside the UK, your Biometric Residence Permit BRP must be received within 7 to 10 days, in accord with the receipt of the decision letter. As part of and process of the application, BRP will be sent directly to the address that is been mentioned in the application. If your application has been approved and still BRP is not delivered, the required action could be taken online or with the help of expert guidance from Immigration Solicitors4Me.

In case, your immigration application was sent from the outside UK, it will be required at your end to collect BRP once you enter the UK. It would be recommended to do this within 10 days of arrival in the UK, or before that vignette sticker in your travel document gets expired. All the relevant details including where you have to collect your BRP will be mentioned in your decision letter. The failure or late collection of your BRP could really cost you a fine of up to £1000.   

In general, a Biometric Residence Permit BRP is valid for a maximum of 10 years or for the tenure of the person’s limited leave.

 

Why do you need Biometric Residence Permit BRP?

The BRP can be used for either of the following:

  1. As an identity proof.
  2. Right to study or work in the UK.
  3. Right to avail of any benefits or public services, if you are entitled.

 

What are the benefits of getting BRP?

Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) is certainly advantageous in so many aspects e.g:

  1. Act as proof of your right to live in the UK.
  2. Act as an identity proof and is authentic and acknowledgeable anywhere and wherever it is shown.
  3. Quickly and in a very less time, enable employers to know about the non-EEA national’s identity, his or her employment status, and also about right to work in the UK.
  4. Easier for migrants to carry around and show other less feasible or convenient documents like a passport.

 

While leaving and re-entering the UK, what should I need to do?

In case you have a biometric residence permit (BRP), you can leave and re-enter the UK, by showing your biometric residence permit card along with your passport at the border to be sure of the immigration status you are holding. Do note that, BRP is not a travel document, it needs to be shown with your passport to enable others to know about your immigration status, right to work, identity, access to public benefits, etc.

if you have a visa in the UK, and your BRP is expired. Then what should you do? you can apply to extend your BRP or apply for a biometric residence permit renewal. After applying for a BRP extension, you will get your new BRP card after processing time.
