The EU Settlement Scheme is now officially open. After a successful launch on Saturday, more than 50,000 applications were made over the weekend. This brings the total number of applications to over 280,000.
Applying to the EU Settlement Scheme is completely free, and the Home Office’s aim is to make it as simple and straightforward as possible. All you need to do is complete a three-step application with a laptop, tablet or mobile device to prove your identity, confirm you live in the UK and declare any criminal convictions.
The Scheme has already been thoroughly tested. Nearly four out of five of those who have applied did not need to provide any additional evidence or send in their documents for checking.
There are now multiple routes for providing an identity document. For example, you can use the ID Document Check app from the comfort of your own home, post your document, or visit one of the many locations where documents can be scanned and verified.
We have added a dedicated EU settlement scheme page to our website to support candidates and recruiters with useful information on the scheme, click here
