Return Child BRP

[Redstar222]

Is the guidance the same as below for return of a child's BRP? I do not see anything regarding BRP return in the original letter with my daughter's citizenship certificate, but I know it does need to be returned.

You must send your biometric residence permit (BRP) back to the Home Office within 5 working days of getting your certificate of British citizenship.

Cut your BRP into 4 pieces and put it in a windowless envelope.

Include a note saying you’re returning your permit because you’ve become a citizen. Include your name, date of birth and the document number (found on the front of the card) in the note.

Naturalisation BRP Returns

Perhaps this explains ...

Children are not naturalised - only adults are naturalised ... a discretionary application.

Children are registered as British citizens, and in most cases have an entitlement under the nationality regulations, not normally refused.

Perhaps another member here can point to the relevant regulations or points of law.

Yes, that bit I do know. But the BRP return address is the same. UKVI are usually quite helpful, but this time when I called they just said "Yes, it needs returned" and "check the website for info." The letter we got with her citizenship registration did not mention anything about BRP return, but we've now got her British passport too so it's really a useless document at this point.

Yes, return BRP to same address with a simple note saying that child is now British and this is no longer required.
Cut into 4 places.
