You will receive a notice confirming when and how to collect your BRP once your visa has been approved. Normally, your BRP will be available for collection at the designated Post Office 10 days upon arrival to the UK. This is likely to be the Sheffield City Post Office, the exact address will be on your visa.

To collect your BRP, you will need to present valid identification like your passport and your Home Office BRP letter.

As of 6 April 2022, we can no longer accept Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) as a form of right-to-work document. We can still use the BRP card for identity purposes and for your National Insurance number. Please provide the Right to Work share code once you have your new visa.
