BRP Replacement Experience

[melovesengland]

I just want to share this in case in future members heer will have problem with their BRP's. I have recently received my brp card but I noticed that the place of birth in my card mispelled wrong. It is essential for you to check thoroughly the information in your BRP card to avoid you from applying again and being charge to retain a new BRP as what they have said on the leaflet that they enclosed with my card.

What I have done was:

1. I emailed the Home Office using BRPError@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to inform that I found faulty in my BRP card.

2. They then sent me an email after 2 days to say that I have got to send my BRP card along with my passport back to the address they provided also on the email which is,

Freepost RRYX-GLYU-GXHZ

Returns Unit

PO Box 163

Bristol

BS20 1AB

3. They also ask me to write a covering letter that contains my information: Full Name, Date Of Birth, Nationality, Passport Number, Contact Telephone Number, BRP Number and Case Reference Number.

After a week of wait my passport arrived in the morning followed by my new Biometric Residence Card in the afternoon. Make sure that you’re at home when they deliver your card for you as they dont give or hand it over to anybody else than you.

Good info Novie
Glad you managed to get it sorted and corrected in a reasonable time.

Yes, it's important to check the Bio card for errors, who know what it could lead to these days

Thanks Sir Peter! We done it right away because we dont want to pay anything or re apply again if ever they notice that there is a slight fault on my BRP. It didnt cost us anything paart from 1 First Class Stamp so that was good as well.
