I am not able to find my BRP card. Also as per new rules I have to return the BRP card to the Home office after being Naturalised as a british citizen and tommrow is the last day/ fifth day or else there is a fine upto £1000. What do I do now? I have just emailed them about lost card today.

Report it lost to the police and provide HO with the details.

Thanks . I called the police now on 101 and they told me now they don't take the call for lost property or give out any reference numbers and I will have to call the home office and there's nothing they can do about it .

You need to go to a police station and explain it is a card that contains your biometric info held by HO and you need a crime ref number if reporting it lost or stolen.

Once reported to HO, they update with the CRN info and will cancel your card.

Unfortunately, from the 1st September 2014,

You may report its lost directly to the UKVI.

Ahhh, thank you Vinny. I was advising on personal experience where HO specifically asked for crime reference number when my daughters BRP was lost/stolen but this was in 2013
