Renew BRP card For ILR

[Rover64]

1. Yes.

2. Irrelevant. You are not making an immigration application. You are simply renewing the card.

3. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

4. You must upload before your ukcvas appointment.

5. Ukcvas is for your biometric enrollment (photo and fingerprints) and identity check!

Note that you will not get a brp valid for 10 years. Your new brp will be valid till 31st december 2024 as brps are being phased out and ukvi will move to a digital status system in 2025.

Hi CR001,
I'm really interested in your responses. We were advised not to travel while waiting for the renewed BRP to arrive. It is causing us great difficulty, so I would be very happy to know confirmation for your responses, as it may help us?

We were advised that if you do not have a valid BRP to prove your status to re-enter the UK, then you need to apply for a one off "Replacement BRP" visa, which is specific for this scenario. The application for the "Replacement BRP" visa may/will cause your BRP renewal application to be cancelled, and you would need to resubmit a new application for the BRP renewal.

For context -- my partner's ILR was granted in the 1960's, and the original ILR vignette was in his parent's passport, therefore his BRP is his way of proving his ILR status.

DO NOT tag your question on someone else's topic!

The BRP replacement is not an immigration application, so travel is all up to you. Obviously, visa nationals need a BRP to board a plane to the UK, so if you leave the UK you need a means to get back. You do not need a BRP to leave the UK
