My final call was on this Thursday, provisional driving licence started showing up within a couple of hours, BRP was posted yesterday evening and I've got it today in the morning. So essentially, keep calling them near the end of your 10th week, they put a note on your application, their applications processing team locates your post and starts processing. So because my application is deemed as a hybrid, it defaults to opening to after the 10 weeks are completed to the day I send my application. Now there's a grey area, online application have no delays whereas paper applications (in most cases made via the Post Office) are taking 6-10 weeks. I made my application online, DVLA deemed due to my nationality and status here in the UK, I needed to send my BRP back which falls under paper application. I luckily got an advisor who gave me a sensible explanation. Update: I've got my BRP today, it took the full 10 weeks. Anyone has ideas if I can get around travelling without BRP and manage to bypass immigration at Heathrow when I return? Thanks. I don't think calling my BRP as lost and try to get a replacement is a good idea, nor do I think I will get it in time before my planned travel end of November. Been living all by myself here in the UK for over 2 years now after spending the first 28 years of my life in my parents hourse. Always considered myself very strong willed, but didn't realise I suffered from anxiety and depression until DVLA hit me so hard. Have had to resort to drinking to just to get a couple of hours of sleep. I haven't been home in almost 2 years now, haven't seen my parents or girlfriend (soon to be wife), the job is killing and I feel I am underperforming now.

Persevered calling DVLA to return my BRP considering I need to travel in 3 weeks time, but to no help.Ĭontacted local MP, email acknowledged, nothing since. Not all BRPs have this - it depends on factors like the date it was issued and your visa status.So as the title of this post suggests, my BRP is stuck with DVLA for over 10 weeks now. You may have a National Insurance ( NI) number printed on the back of your BRP. whether you can access public funds, for example benefits and health services.your immigration status and any conditions of your stay.your fingerprints and a photo of your face (this is your biometric information).If you apply for a BRP, you will not get one. You’ll need to prove your right to live and work in the UK online instead. You cannot get a BRP if you use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to prove your identity when applying to stay in the UK. BRCs have ‘residence card’ printed on them. You might have one if you’re in the UK as a family member of someone from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein. BRCs are also called ‘UK residence cards’. BRPs are different from biometric residence cards (BRCs).
