We aim for all BRP’s to be delivered within 7 working days of the immigration decision being made.

BRPs are produced by the Driver and Vehicle Licencing Agency (DVLA) within 48 hours of the decision being made and are collected by our secure delivery partner FedEx the same day. FedEx aims to attempt to deliver the BRPs within 48 hours of receipt. This equates to a minimum of 5 working days from date of decision to delivery of the BRP. We have added an additional 2 working days to the timeline advised to applicants to allow us to resolve any production issues.

Between January and March 2022, DVLA produced all BRPs within 48 hours of the production request, of which 88.2% were produced within 24 hours. FedEx then attempted to deliver 99.74% of BRPs within the following 48 hours, during this period.
