WRS is a requirement for all EU nationals of the 8 countries which joined the EU in 2004 to work in the UK.You only need to prove that you've been working for the last 6 years why would you provide documents from 2004?
I was in the exactly same situation as yours. During my NCS appointment I was asked to add an explanation that the company1 changed its name to company2. The lady at NCS called HO to confirm that this should be fine.Wonder if somebody knows answer for my question.... maybe similar cases?
Yes, your WRS and P60's should be enough to prove this.danski wrote:My WRS is issued for company1/address1 and all P60 have company2/address1 - the same address different company names. I have also all payslips for the first year - as mentioned before first five show company1 then changed to company2 - but with clear continuity e.g. per year earnings and tax accumulation. Hopefully it will be sufficient for HO folks.
I know, I am an EU national myself. What I was saying is you don't need to provide any evidence from 11 years ago! You only need to prove you've been exercising Treaty right for the qualifying period of 5 years + 1 year on PR - not the entire 11 years you've been in the country.WRS is a requirement for all EU nationals of the 8 countries which joined the EU in 2004 to work in the UK.
I was talking about naturalization not PR. It is true what you say but situation is slightly more complicated for people from A8 countries e.g. Poland. Starting in 2004 it was required to register under WRS for one year continues employment. Only after this first year under WRS, time starts ticking towards 5 years. Without it nothing counts due to WRS violation. The WRS registration has been abandoned in 2009 but it means that only in 2016 citizens of A8 can go the same path as other EU members. If you want to apply for naturalization now, exercising Treaty, you have to show that you were legally working in UK for 5 years +1. Given timeline impossible without WRS registration in the past:)You only need to prove you've been exercising Treaty right for the qualifying period of 5 years + 1 year on PR - not the entire 11 years you've been in the country.
Only when an A8 national has completed the necessary 12 months employment under the WRS will they be considered to be in the UK and exercising their treaty rights. However, time spent as a registered worker on the Workers Registration Scheme will count towards the five year qualifying period for permanent residence. Page 11
If the qualifying period is between 1 May 2004 and 30 April 2011, then you must show that you have met WRS requirements.badratio wrote:I know, I am an EU national myself.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... Policy.pdf9.13 The scheme was in place until the transitional arrangements were lifted on 30 April 2011. Therefore, where a EU8 national is relying on a period of work between 1 May 2004 and 30 April 2011, they should provide evidence of their:
Registration certificates
Residence permit
9.14 Where the EU8 national has been issued with an EEA registration certificate or residence permit either under the 2000 or 2006 Regulations after they became exempt from the scheme, the WRS card may not be required.
You need to have PR status for at least a year to apply for naturalization. In order to obtain PR, you need to exercise your Treaty rights and if you're from the 8 EU countries that required WRS registration, then you need to show that you had met that requirement.danski wrote:I was talking about naturalization not PR.

are you from A8 country?badratio wrote:No. Time spent registered under WRS counts towards qualifying period.

I'm myself an EU national and have British citizenship granted last month. In my application I provided all necessary evidence covering from March 2009 to March 2015 even though I moved to the UK in June 2007. There was no need nor they asked to provide any evidence prior to that time frame.
I think you should ask your company for letter explaining this as caseworker may see it that you worked for different company that that where WRS has been done.Kate73 wrote:Hi,
I think I have similar problem. My company's
name has been changed before I joined them.
When I apply for WRS they used two names...
Now I realized there is different name on
my WRS. (Only one word has been changed and
two others stayed the same).
All my P-60 have a right name since I have started
my job there.
Do you think I should attach some explanation?
The address of the company is still the same.
Would it be ok if I attach a letter from my company
with some explanation?
Thank you for your time.
