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.

Information for Partners

The Government has created a community groups toolkit which can be downloaded here.
