Who should Apply?

If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen, you and your family can apply to the Settlement Scheme.

How do I Apply?

You can apply yourself online at Please see https://www.gov.uk/settled-status-eu-citizens-families/applying-for-settled-status, or you can get help from us at Citizens Advice. This is a free service.

The application process checks who you are, that you live in the UK, and that you’re not a criminal. You’ll need your passport or national identity card as proof of identity. Your National Insurance number can be used to prove you live here.

You can scan your identity document with an Android phone, or you can send them by post. Citizens Advice has access to an Android phone if you do not have one.

If your application is successful, the Home Office will email you a link to an online service where you can view and prove your status.
