BRP pickup

Hello All:

  Well so far so good and, having picked up my BRP yesterdAY Monday was Helish. I took my passport and the document  to pick up my NHS card, it does not say anywhere on the letter from UKVI that my wife had to bring her passport and a drivers license, But knowing all to well she was asked for her passport and drivers license. We called the UKVI and they said that's irrelevant ..i only needed my passport and letter
So makes sure you take your spouses docs and whatever you have with a photo on it..i could not care to argue came all the way i justed wanted my card so got it and all is good...thank you to all the modes and people who helped me..  my trip to Scotland awaits.

Glad you got it all sorted eventually eddy!

I hope you have a fabulous trip.     Where will you be visiting in Scotland?

Enjoy your honeymoon!

Great to hear Eddy that it all worked out!  Hope you have a much deserved and relaxing honeymoon!!

I'm in the same position now with picking my BRP.  So does my husband need to come with me and bring his passport?  He doesn't have a UK license yet - will his US ID card or Australian   Drivers License do?  I thought I only had to take the letter and passport to collect so not sure what else we need now if they gave you a hard time.

Was your BRP also already there?  Another member got to her Post Office and her BRP still hadn't arrived, even though it was past the date stated on her letter.

We are re-entering the UK together now in a week+ time, looking to arrive at about 11.30am, dump our bags and go straight to the post office to collect my BRP and then be on another flight that same night for a 2wk holiday.  My BRP card should have arrived by then surely right?  It says that it's already available for collection (25 Oct).  We plan to collect on 7 Nov, so that's about 3 wks from the visa issue date already.

That's what i thought but wife found out about my card being there they asked for photo Id, i thought it was to extreme. after talking to a UKVI  person they should ask for passport and letter from the sponsored person. Also if no passport any photo ID

Remember they can ask for any ID so just be aware from what they told us, But UKVI says something different.. the post office is in a store..if you are coming from the station area where we parked all day for £4.00  had lunch at the shopping mall and got my UK phone number..you will get it not to worry as long as you have the ID

Good Luck

We're still to get the BRP. The official letter stated it would be available from the chosen post office from Oct 25th. Well it wasn't there, hoping it comes in tomorrow, as the post office said they only get one delivery of BRPs in the afternoon Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Oh wow.  Good to know Karl.  Thanks for the heads up.  Do you know if it's possible to call ahead to check or do you have to go in person each time to see if it's arrived?  I would hope that by 7 Nov when we land, my BRP would have arrived but I never know with this process anymore!

They told us just to phone ahead of time to save us going in. So if it's a bit of a walk/drive then yeah phone ahead.
