UKBA states that you have 3 months.
Here's the UKBA webpageHow can you change your personal details on your biometric residence permit?
You must tell us as soon as you can if:-
you change your name (for example, because of marriage or by deed poll);
you change your gender, legally or permanently;
you change your nationality; or
your facial appearance changes significantly.
If you change any personal details listed above or any details shown on your biometric residence permit, you must apply for a new permit within 3 months using application form BRP(RC). If you do not do this, you may have to pay a financial penalty of up to £1,000 or we may shorten your permission to stay. You can download the application form and guidance from the right side of this page.
thnx terpe,, sorry my question wasn't clear. let say i have submitted my application, how long am i going to wait before they will send the replacement card? me and hubby are planning to go to phils this april. just wonder if i'll take the risk of booking the flight even if i don't have my brp card yet.
One member here, ConfusedMe, has been waiting for 7 months now she told me for her replacement BRP card.Everything's stuck in UKBA at the moment. She said she has been calling UKBA only to be told to just wait.

This is also my concern, because My Philippine passport will expire next year so I am planning By Jan or Feb I will renew my passport and will use my Husband's lastname then into my new passport. Then hopefully I will get my new passport sooner then change my BRP card..
But by the slow process of UKBA
thnx rayna, oh dear.. i really want to go home soon..Originally Posted by raynaputi

timeline of my application for BRP replacement card:
17 Jan 2013 - posted my application
18 Jan 2013 - the royal mail confirmed the UKBA received it
23 Jan 2013 - received a letter from the UKBA that one of the caseworker is processing my application
28 Jan 2013 - received a letter that i need to enroll my biometrics
29 Jan 2013 - went to post office to enroll my biometrics
12 Feb 2013 - they returned all my documents saying that my brp card will arrive within 7 working days of the date of the letter (9 Feb, 2013)
hopefully i'll have my residence card this week..
i'm quite pleased of their service..

we had a letter dated 31st Jan to say it had been sent. It said that if we hadn't received it within 10 working days of the letter we had to email them and tell them. That was last Friday. Am sick of waiting in.
Hellohello guys,, when i renewed my passport, i changed my surname. so now, i have to apply for a replacement brp. my question is, how long do i have to wait for them to send the card? thnx.
I'm a little confused I thought the main purpose of a separate BRP was if you change the passport the Card is maintained as it is?
Looking at this page
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...a-to-passport/
It does say carry both passports unless you have the separate BRP.
I'm sure if I changed Rina's passport to her married name we wouldn't need a new BRP, bearing in mind we applied for FLR after we married yet had to put her maiden name on the FLR application.
Cheers
Tone
If your wife doesn't have a BRP card yet, then what you stated applies to her, considering that her current visa is stamped to her passport. The difference would be if the wife applied for FLR(M) using her passport with her maiden name and then was issued with a BRP card that contains her maiden name. Passport and BRP card should contain the same details. If she's gonna renew the passport and use her married name, the BRP card should be replaced too.

Hey Rayna
I'm still confused!
It says if you change your details within passport/BRP or otherwise you have to notify UKBA.
How I read that is because we are married and Rina's surname is now mine we should notify them?
Is that correct?
Thanks
Tone
Does Rina have a BRP card? If she does, is it on her maiden name or married name?
...When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible...
Hiya
She has BRP (FLR) in her maiden name along with Filipino passport in maiden name.
Tone
If Rina would renew her passport using her married name, she needs to replace her BRP card as well as details there need to match.

Hi Rayna
Ok I get that - was thinking of updating passport soon but may leave it!
After your experience of UKBA I don't want to send anything to those idiots to be honest!
Thanks for the clarification.
Tone
Tell me about it!

Sorry to hear that anakin,,we had a letter dated 31st Jan to say it had been sent. It said that if we hadn't received it within 10 working days of the letter we had to email them and tell them. That was last Friday. Am sick of waiting in.
I'm surprised I got mine in less than 4 weeks.
''The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but there still gonna be
Made me nervous and confused after reading this thread. I didnt realise i had to change my brp if i am using my husband's last name. My passport and my brp for flr (which was approved dec 2011) is under my single name but i started using my husband's last name at work, bank details and bills.
My passport and visa are both up for renewal this november. Did i violate this 3month notice thingy for using my husband's last name? If so,can i get away with it if ill be renewing my passport and brp soon?
Hope someone can enlighten me :(
some good info in this thread can we make this sticky ?? thanks
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
you don't have to apply for a replacement card since your passport and brp card contain the same details.
''The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but there still gonna be
thnx sars..
''The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but there still gonna be
ReallyMari ...
... and I've carried out your request accordingly.
thank you vmuch sir Art..very kind of youReally
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
im so relieved to know that.. thank you
got another question though,if i were to renew my passport in May, do i still need to apply for a replacement card if im going to apply for ILR in November?
thanks alot
They said u have to apply for replacement within 3 months.. Try ring ukba if they will let you get away with it..im so relieved to know that.. thank you

Thanks Bhem.
Just one clarification and forgive me if i will sound daft. I dont need to worry if i use my married name on my bills, bank statement (which i will be using when i apply for ILR) for as long as my passport and brp id are both on my singe name?
thanks alot
