Dependants

Your Dependants' Biometric Residence Permits (BRPs) will be sent to the location that you requested when you made your application.

  • If you applied inside the UK, this should be the same address as you gave in your Dependants' application.
  • If you applied outside of the UK, and you did not use Warwick's ACL Code, then your Dependants' BRPs will be sent to the Post Office.
  • If you applied outside of the UK, and you used Warwick's ACL Code, then your Dependants' BRPs will be sent to the University also.
