Do I need to enrol my biometric details when I already have a BRP?

Hi all,

I have completed the online naturalisation form, sure is a bit of work, and when I get to the fees page it is charging me for enrolling my biometric details. I am submitting by current biometric residence permit as part of my application which already has all these details. This was done at Croydon five years ago when I got my indefinite leave.

Three questions:
- will I need to enrol these again or will my existing BRP cover this?
- If this is covered by my current card do they refund the biometric enrolment fee I will again have to pay?

- must you now use the online form if applying from within the U.K. Or is there another way? The online form knows i am from New Zealand but still asks me to select that I will submit my NZ degree and another form showing my degree was taught in English, when a New Zealand passport is meant to cover the language requirement...

Thanks in advance for any info on the above,

Best

T

Biometrics have to be given for every application. There will be no refund of prior biometric fees. The BRP card is proof of freedom from immigration restrictions.
Regarding English requirement/exemption can't comment but I believe there has been a similar thread already.
