Typically, your National Insurance number should be printed on the back of your BRP. If you receive it and it is not printed on the back of your BRP, you will need to apply for one here.
Please do not worry if you arrive in the UK and your BRP has not yet been issued.
If it has been 10 days after arriving in the UK, you can follow the progress of your BRP here. The Home Office typically responds within 5 working days to inform you of what to do next.

Please note, if you locate your BRP at a later date after receiving a replacement, you cannot use the original.
The cost of a replacement BRP is £154.
