<p>Everyone who is granted permission to live in the UK is given evidence of their
immigration status in a secure format – either as a physical document (biometric residence
permit or card) or in digital form (eVisa).</p><p>Some individuals receive both a
card and an eVisa; others will only receive an eVisa. In addition to their evidence
of immigration status they also receive a written notification of their grant of leave
in the form of an email or letter, which they can keep for their personal records.</p><p>Due
to the possibility of fraud and abuse this document cannot be used to evidence an
individual’s immigration status to external organisations.</p><p>The move to digital
is part of the wider move to a border and immigration system which is digital by default,
which means we will increasingly replace physical and paper-based products and services
with accessible, easy to use online and digital services.</p>
