You can apply for a replacement of your BRP card from inside the UK after you have reported your BRP card to the Home Office UKVI as lost or stolen. The Home Office will contact you within one working day of reporting it. If your BRP card was lost or stolen outside the UK, you should apply for a BRP replacement visa to enter the UK and then apply for a replacement of your BRP card from inside the UK.
If your lost or stolen BRP was valid for 3 months or more, report it and apply for a replacement BRP Card. You must do this within 3 months of losing it.
You can be fined up to £1,000 and made to leave the UK if you do not apply for a replacement within 3 months.
If your BRP card was valid for 3 months or less, you must do one of the following:
- report it as lost or stolen if you do not intend to remain in the UK after its expiry date
- apply for a replacement if you plan to leave and re-enter the UK within 3 months of its expiry date
- apply to extend your visa if you want to stay in the UK after its expiry date - if granted, you’ll automatically get a new BRP
