From 6 April 2022, holders of biometric residence cards (BRCs) and biometric residence permits (BRPs) are required to use their biometric cards to access Home Office online right to work and rent services, in order to prove their status to employers or landlords, rather than a physical check.
In November 2023 we announced proposals to increase the maximum level of civil penalty.
In line with the public sector equality duty, these equality impact assessments (EIA) consider the likely equalities impact.
