EU Settlement Scheme: what the EU Settlement Scheme is

Product Description

This guidance is for His Majesty’s Passport Office staff dealing with passport applications for customers whose nationality claim is through a European Economic Area (EEA) citizen parent (or the family member of an EEA citizen) who was granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme.

It tells HM Passport Office staff what the EU Settlement Scheme is and how it affects the British Nationality Act 1981 and passport applications. It also tells them how to complete an EU Settlement Scheme (EUSS) check and what to do if UK Visas and Immigration incorrectly thought the customer was already a British citizen.
