Biometric Residence Permit

A Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) is an official card issued to foreign nationals living in the UK. It confirms your identity, immigration status, and permission to stay for a specific period. The card contains your photograph, fingerprints, and personal details, which help authorities verify your identity quickly. The BRP is important for accessing services like work, healthcare, and opening bank accounts. It also serves as proof of your right to be in the UK, and you must carry it when traveling or if requested by authorities.
