Lost or Stolen Passport, Visa or BRP
If you lose your passport or UK visa in the UK or overseas, you may need to arrange to have your immigration documents replaced unless you already have an eVisa.
Passport
If you lose your passport, you should contact your nearest embassy to begin the process of obtaining a new passport. If you're in the UK, you will need to apply for a full passport. If you are overseas (but not in your home country), you may need to obtain a temporary travel document to allow you to travel to the UK or your home country.
Visa in your passport
If your visa is in your lost passport, you may need to apply for a replacement visa before you travel if you don’t have an eVisa. Please refer to the information on the UKCISA website to see what you need to do to get a replacement visa.
If you are inside or outside the UK and already have an eVisa, you do not need to apply for a replacement visa. However, you will need to update your eVisa with the details of your new passport when you have it.
Biometric Residence Permit card (BRP)
BRP cards have been replaced by eVisas. If you lose your BRP card, you cannot get a replacement biometric residence permit (BRP). If you do not have access to your eVisa yet, you will need to set up access to an eVisa instead.
Please contact the Visa Support Team if you are having trouble setting up an eVisa without your BRP card.
