BRP expires in 31-Dec-2024 (less than 10 years)

[petu_13]

Hi,

I recently got ILR approved on 10-Apr-2015 at Croydon PEO office. My BRP card shows expiry date of 31-Dec-2024 which is less than 10 years.

Is anyone else experiencing similar problem? Is this a change in process?

Thanks

I think the OP is aware the ILR does not expire but rather the question is concerning the BRP card. It was issued on 10 April 2015 so for 10 years the BRP card should expire on 10 April 2025, instead it is showing a expiry date of 31 December 2024 which is less than 10 years.

Hello mate

My ILR was approved at Solihullon 17th April and i received my BRP today.

the expiry date on BRP is same as yours 31.12.2024

[petu_13]

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I was just wondering (a) if the strange expiry date is just for me or if there is anyone else who has same issue and
(b) is this a new process followed by HomeOffice or is it an error.

I have email them on BRP error contact and will keep you updated on their response.

hi,

We got our iLR approved on 16th april.Got our BRP cards on following monday.
It has the exact same date 31-Dec-2024.Even i was wondering.
looks like whoever has got ILR approved in April has the same dates.

[coolguy20k15]

Hi,

I also had a same experience. Got ILR at PEO Liverpool (same day appointment) on 20 April 2015 and got my ILR BRP card on
22 April 2015.

The details on the BRP is as follows:

Place and Date of Issue -- UK 20-04-2015

Valid until -- 31-12-2024.

Type of Permit -- Settlement

Remarks --- Indefinite Leave to Remain

On the back of the card "No Public Funds" has been removed.

Just for the information, I applied for five years continuous employment route on Tier 2 (General) visa.

Thinking of emailing BRP Error but I think its not an error.

Cheers

Not really a big deal. ILR is ILR even the card expires in 2 years. You just have to send them a new application(NOT ILR) to get a new photo card (BRP).

[WR1]

Its looks like the BRP card expires at end of year prior to the 10 year period and not the full 10 years. Like above has mentioned, it's not a bid deal. ILR does not expire as its the photo that needs updating every 10 years, same as driving license.

British passports needs to be renewed every 10 years too. And if you're planning on applying for naturalisation soon, it is irrelevant.

Hi

One of my friend just got ILR on the basis of 10 year long residency but his BRB expiry date complete 10 years,

Thanks

You don't have to renew a UK passport if you stay in the UK. You do have to renew a BRP when it expires. And note that some BRP holders are not qualified to naturalise, and yet others don't want to give up their original nationality to become British.

did you get any response about your BRP card expiry date ?

Thanks

Hi All,

I've received a response on this from HomeOffice explaining the reason for expiry date 30-Dec-2024

Thank you for your email regarding a possible error with the expiry date on your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP).

The issue has now been investigated and the 31 December 2024 validity date is due to a requirement by the EU to restrict BRPs which do not incorporate the next generation of encryption technology.

As the UK intends to introduce the new technology during 2016 the date restriction affects only BRPs issued to adults with settled status (ILR/NTL).

Any BRP rightfully held on 01 July 2024 that is restricted will be replaced free of charge, with the balance of the 10 year period initially expected being issued on a new BRP.

This means that anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs.

The date restriction does not change the entitlements of the rightful holder to work, access services/benefits or travel. The rightful holder still has settled status.

I hope this information answers your queries.

Regards
BRP Error Team

Thanks for the update. My other half has her ILR approved on Tuesday and received the BRP card yesterday. it also shows the card expiry date as being 31-12-2024 instead of the full 10 years. At least we have an explanation now.

I'm planning on applying for BC in the future so it is irrelevant in our case.

This is indeed worrying. Why do they state "with the balance of the 10 year period initially expected being issued on a new BRP"

and

"anyone who has paid a fee in expectation of receiving ten year evidence of settled status will still do so, but it will be spread over two BRPs." ?

Settlement should be indefinite, forever (unless taken away but that's another animal). ILR should not just be ten year "evidence" of settled status.
Basically they are saying that if you replace your permit in 2022, they will not issue you another brp with another 10 years - just 2 more years till you get 10 years ... What happens afterwards?

The ILR does not have an expiry date. Its the card that does. The photo will have changed after 10 years, just like a driving licence. So after 10 years, you apply for a new card, not apply for ILR again.

The issue above is with regards to security. When you apply for a new card, you will have another 10 years, just that the above is being split with 2 cards instead of one and if you read it carefully, the new security measures will be in place in 2016 i.e. next year.

Hi petu_13,

I would like to have exactly the same letter from UKBA for my personal records. Do you remember if you contacted them by email or by post to Bristol address provided on the letter please?

Thank you.

The UKBA was disbanded in March 2013 due to not being fit for purpose . It was superseded by the UKVI in April 2013.
