Northern Ireland's former first minister Arlene Foster and former education minister Peter Weir are set to join the House of Lords.
Ms Foster left Stormont politics last year after resigning as leader of the DUP.
Mr Weir lost his seat in the Assembly in elections earlier this year. He had served as education minister from 2020 to 2021, and had been elected to Stormont since 1998.
Both are to become life peers, the DUP has said.
DUP leader Jeffrey Donaldson congratulated both on their new role.
"Peter Weir has given a lifetime of service to his constituents and to the Pro-union cause in Northern Ireland," he said.
"Arlene will be a strong voice for Northern Ireland and this is rightful and worthy recognition for her contribution and service to Northern Ireland.
"We look forward to working closely with her in the time ahead."
Mr Weir said he is "honoured and humbled to be appointed to the Lords" as a nominee of the DUP.
