End-2019, I helped a family member with name change on BRC. It took 2 months.
The Home Office is very unpredictable with this kind of things. They can take any time really. But 1 month between submission and return of the new BRC seems a bit short to me.

You have nothing to lose by calling them.
The check online is helpful to prove your right to work but you can't use it for travelling. You need to have the BRC in hand to travel.

I have had a name change on my settled status.. needed to send my new passport fir that.. name was changed on website after around 1.5 months. When I called to ask about a new BRC.. I was told I need to apply separately for this on gov website and attend a biometric appointment. I did this on Dec 18th and still waiting for the new BRC.
Website says 8 weeks processing time.. so I’m still waiting.
Hope this helps.

By the way.. EU Settlement help centre told me I can travel with my old BRC if I’m holding both old and new passports. Worth sending them an email to make sure.

Before changing my name on brc I applied a eu settlement on new name .. because when i called them that i have to change my name on brc they told me you file can be reject because of new law. So I applied pre settle in October .. i wrote them good covering letter that why i need urgently my brc . Hopefully my case worker show some sympathy on me

I don’t know.. but I have the same issue now.. when I enter my passport number I can see my status but with BRC number I can’t.. maybe they have already replaced my BRC but they just need to send it... I hope!!

Received my new card today. Took exactly 8 weeks from biometric appointment date until I received the new card.
