Updated date of BRP received. For everyone wondering how to track BRP delivery if you didn't get your consignment number or your consignment number was sent to your solicitor and not shared with you. You can call TNT at 0345 6080630, and just keep saying you need real person assistance. Provide your postcode, name, and your or your solicitor's email address (whichever you used in your application). They will give you your consignment number then you can track it. Please allow at least 2 days after your approval before calling them.
