BRP advice

Post by Hlqt » Wed May 18, 2016 1:59 pm

Hi,

I received my BRP today, and my name (typical Chinese name where the surname comes first) was written as :

Name:
"First name 2"
"Surname" "First name 1"

In my passport my name is written as below with no clarification as to what is the surname and what is the first name:

"Surname" "First name 1" "First name 2"

Can I still travel with my BRP given that my name matches my passport exactly, and UK Visas and Immigration have the proper surname listed in their database?

Any advice will be much appreciated as I will be flying next Friday.

As long as your BRP matches your passport there shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you for your quick response Casa! Can I just check, you mean that as long as the spelling in the BRP matches the passport, it shouldn't be a problem?
