Missing NI number on ILR BRP Backside

Post by spkp » Fri Jul 26, 2024 3:19 pm

Hi, I have recently got my ILR approved and got a physical BRP card with an expiry date of 31-12-2024.
But, I noticed the NI Number is not printed in the back of BRP (Normally for my earlier Skilled Worker BRP, there was NI Number printed on the back of the BRP card under Remarks section).
The 'Remarks' section of back of my ILR BRP card is empty.
Should I raise this an error with the Home Office? Thanks.

Don't think it's an error.
As ILR holder you are free from immigration time restrictions.
If you go for a job you just just tell the employer what your NI number is. The BRP is proof of right to work, not the NI.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

NI Number on a BRP is only relevant to a Skilled Worker visa brp. It doesn't apply to other immigration routes or ILR BRPs.

A BRP is no longer proof of right to work. Moreover, they are being discontinued from 1 Jan 2025. Currently, they may be useful for non-visa nationals when returning to the UK after travelling.
