EU Settlement Scheme: FAQs
Who should apply?
Information on who is required to apply for pre-settled or settled status can be found on the Government website. If you have children, you need to apply for them separately.
Verifying your identity documents
Before you can apply for the EU Settlement Scheme, you will need to have your identity documents verified.
You can use the EU Exit: ID Document Check app to complete the identity stage of your application under the EU Settlement Scheme. The app will:
check that your identity document is genuine
verify that the document belongs to you
How much will it cost?
The Government announced a change in the Settlement Scheme policy earlier this year which means that there is now no charge for any application.
If you paid a fee when you applied to the EU Settlement Scheme, you’ll get a refund.
