Students sponsored by Royal Holloway under the Student visa route must include the following documentation for the ID Check online form:

• Valid passport (photo page)
  
  
• Flight Details (if applicable) - We recommend where possible that all students see a Border Force official and receive an Entry Stamp at the UK Border Control as proof of the date they entered the UK. If you use the eGates to enter the UK and do not receive an Entry Stamp then you must provide  alternative evidence of the date that you entered the UK, for example, your boarding pass or flight booking details. We strongly recommend that all students keep a record of their flight details when entering the UK as you may be asked for this during your Identity Check.

• Entry Clearance Vignette – If you made your application outside the UK, this is the yellow sticker that will be in your passport with the entry date stamp from when you have travelled. You will need to provide this as part of your Identity Check. If you were granted digital immigration permission (see below), you will not have an Entry Clearance Vignette.

• Digital immigration status share code -  You will not have a share code if you have an Entry Clearance Vignette in your passport).

  • To access and provide us with your immigration status share code please go to View and Prove Your Immigration Status at www.gov.uk/view-prove-immigration-status  and follow the instructions from the ‘Start Now’ button at the bottom of the page.

• Biometric Resident Permit (BRP) collection letter – This letter confirms where you can collect your BRP card (you will not have this letter if you have digital immigration permission)

• Biometric Resident Permit (BRP) card – You will only receive this once you are in the UK. If you have an application in progress, you will need to have a copy of the visa application documents ready so they can be reviewed and your eligibility to study in the UK can be confirmed (you will not receive a BRP if you have digital immigration permission),

Receiving your Student Route BRP card: when applying for your Student Route visa you will have chosen a place to issue/collect it from. 

• Post Office – If you chose the Post Office as your BRP card collection point, you should go and collect your BRP card from there ready to present for your ID check.
• Royal Holloway –  If you have elected to collect your BRP card from Royal Holloway, you will be issued your card as part of your ID check which will take place at the Egham campus. We will only be able to issue you with your card when you have arrived in the UK.

If your nationality on your passport is not UK/Irish, you are not using the sponsored Student Route visa or you do not have an EU settlement status, then you should provide the relevant document(s) to show you have the right to study in the UK.
