Details

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 line with the public sector equality duty, this equality impact assessment (EIA) considers the likely equalities impact of the proposal.
