Biometric residence permits (BRPs)
Getting your expired BRP if you applied from outside the UK
You can no longer collect a biometric residence permit (BRP) from a Post Office. This is because all BRPs have now expired and are being replaced by eVisas.
The Home Office tried to contact you if you were told you would get a BRP when you applied to come to the UK.
You should still get your BRP, even though it鈥檚 expired. You might be able to use it to prove your right to work, rent or travel.
If you nominated someone else to collect your BRP
If your nominated person (for example a sponsor) has already collected your BRP from a Post Office, collect it from them.
If your nominated person has not collected your BRP, the Home Office will contact them.
When to contact the Home Office
Contact the Home Office by email if any of the following apply:
- you have not received an email from them
- you know that your nominated person collected your BRP but you cannot get it from them
- you no longer have access to the email address you used when you applied to come to the UK
