BRPs can only be held and used by foreign nationals who are subject to immigration control. When they become British citizens the BRP card is cancelled, and holders are required to return their BRP card to UK Visas and Immigration.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 28/06/2023 08:01:27 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2023 answer text <p>The maximum validity period of a biometric residence permit (BRP) is 10 years, even if the status holder has indefinite leave. This is to ensure the holder updates their facial image at least once every 10 years, in line with UK passports and UK photo driving licences.</p><p>Our aim is to fully transition to eVisas by the end of 2024 and for this reason we are no longer issuing BRPs with an expiry date after 2024, even when the person’s permission will expire after that date.</p><p>Once we cease issuing BRPs and existing ones have expired and been removed from circulation, there will be no further BRPs issued, and they will have no extant use. Therefore, the administrative costs associated with issuing and maintaining BRP cards will reduce over time.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 03/05/2023 16:27:52 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
