EU citizen

[had66]

Hi there.
I`m an EU (The Netherlands) citizen who lived and worked in The UK since 2009.
My family Joined me in 2010 ( 5 years now in The UK). Now ,do my family have the right to apply for The UK citizenship ( English Passport)? or do they need to apply first for the Certificate of permanent residency and then for the English passport?
Can some one guide me , please?

Also I would like just to apply for the Certificate of permanent residency, is that Ok?
and what form should I use?is it the EEA(PR) VERSION 07/2015?

thanks in advance

Your family first need to apply for a PR card (not a registration certificate). After holding PR for 12 months they can then apply for British citizenship, assuming they meet all the standard requirements. Only after they have been granted BC will they be able to apply for a British passport.
You can apply for a Certificate of permanent residence https://www.gov.uk/eea-registration-certificate

Thanks for your reply Casa

If my family Can not, then I assume that I can apply for a PR and adding them on the same form as family members and we will get all the Certificate of PR in one time ?
Is it this Form : https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _07-15.pdf

Yes, but they will be issued with PR cards, not registration certificates. Your family members will have to submit biometrics.

Hi CASA
why registration card for my family?? they are all EU (dutch) citizens..
I think you have misunderstood me. you thought that my family are NON-EEA , isn't it ??


Also, another question: why they are asking if we had took benefits in the form??
is it OK if you answer yes?does that affect on the application?

thanks for your help

Even if you're EU you need to apply for permenant resident cards first, and 12 months after they have been issued then you can apply for British citizenship providing you meet the criteria

Incorrect. An EU national doesn't apply for a PR card. They are issued with a PR registration certificate.

Yes, I did wrongly assume your family were non-EEA citizens. Registration certificates would be issued. Ignore the advice given by HelloitsmeAbby
Claiming benefits to which you were entitled won't be a problem.

[HelloitsmeAbby]
