What a BRP is
You'll get a biometric residence allow (BRP) if you:
apply to come to the Uk for longer than six months
extend your visa to longer than 6 months
apply to settle in the Uk
transfer your visa to a new passport
apply for particular Residence Office travel documents
You do not have to apply individually for a BRP. You'll get one immediately if your visa or immigration application is accredited, or you're replacing an older document

.
What's on your BRP
Your BRP will consist of:
your identify, date and place of birth
your fingerprints and a photo of your encounter (this is your biometric data)
your immigration standing and any situations of your stay
whether you can accessibility public funds, for instance advantages and well being services
You may well have a National Insurance coverage (NI) quantity printed on the back of your BRP. Not all BRPs have this - it depends on factors like the date it was issued and your visa status. 

Why you need a BRP
You can use your BRP to confirm your:
identity
right to research or operate in the Uk
right to any public providers or rewards you're entitled to
