Hi,
Just curious to know if anyone returned their BRP card after attending the Citizenship Ceremony as accoridng to the HO guide, it should be returned. Failure to do so may impose fine.
Page 9 of Biometric Information
Arrangements will be made for the cancelation of the biometric residence permit (BRP) once
British citizenship is granted
Where a person who holds a BRP is granted British citizenship they are required to return
their BRP to the Home Office. It should be sent to:
Freepost RRYX-GLYU-GXHZ
Returns Unit
PO Box 163
Bristol
BS20 1AB
Failure to return a BRP to the Home Office following a grant of British citizenship may result
in the issuance of a financial penalty

It must be a new requirement as I still have mine and have been British since 2012.

Can anyone please clarify from when this has been the case? I got my citizenship in October of this year and haven't heard anything regarding this until this post.

A reminder to be thankful that I was able to migrate to the UK (with little effort/problems) and of the very expensive journey I have endured and .
