ILR BRP recieved but validity date ?

Post by iqkhanuk » Mon Dec 19, 2016 4:03 pm

Hi All

This morning I have recieved the BRP for ILR.

It states ILR but in validity it has Dec 2024.

It is settlement which is indefinite leave to remain. So there should not be any validity on it.

Can anyone guide pls.

It is the BRP card that expires and has to be renewed, just like your drivers license if you have one or your bank card.

Yes it expires soon after you have received your citizenship papers after the due time of this grant.It's not like dl or bank cards.The validity date could be your passport validity...I think so..
Experience and understanding can get you to the goal.Every information based on my own experience is friendly shared in goodfaith.

Nothing to do with the passport expiry date.

The HO official statement:
"The 31 December 2024 validity date is due to a requirement by the EU to restrict BRPs which do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology.

As the UK intends to introduce the new technology during 2016 the date restriction affects only BRPs issued to adults with settled status (ILR/NTL).

Any BRP rightfully held on 01 July 2024 that is restricted will be replaced free of charge, with the balance of the 10 year period initially expected being issued on a new BRP.

This means that anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs.

The date restriction does not change the entitlements of the rightful holder to work, access services/benefits or travel. The rightful holder still has settled status.
