What is UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP)?

A UK Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) is an official residence card issued to foreign nationals who stay in the United Kingdom for more than six months. The UK BRP confirms a person’s identity, immigration status, and their right to live, work, or study in the UK. It is issued by the UK Home Office and includes biometric details such as fingerprints and a photograph. The UK BRP acts as proof of legal residence in the UK.
