The EU Settlement Scheme offers you three ways of applying/submitting proof of your identity:
According to the Settlement Scheme page, where they offer you the three options above, you will be required to post your passport at the end of your application if you choose option 2.nowhere in the application process, I was instructed to post my passport. Is that something that will happen at a later stage?
Thank you for your reply.kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 4:28 pmThe EU Settlement Scheme offers you three ways of applying/submitting proof of your identity:
1. Using a BRC and the app
2. Using a passport and sending it by post
3. Going to a "scanning" location where you can borrow a smart phone to use the app with a BRC. (So this us really only a variation of option 1, only difference is you don't do it at home).
Note that option 3. has NOTHING to do with your biometrics appointment, which is a completely separate step. Passports are NOT scanned at biometrics appointments. If you are using your passport, option 2, to verify your identity you have to post it. Anyone suggesting otherwise, as I have sadly seen several times on this forum, is simply confused.
So, the key question here for you is which of the options above did you pick?
Since you say you have never had a BRC I'm mostly assuming you picked option 2. (Unless you mean you never had a EEA BRC, but you do have a tier 4 biometric card, which you used to apply with option 1?)According to the Settlement Scheme page, where they offer you the three options above, you will be required to post your passport at the end of your application if you choose option 2.nowhere in the application process, I was instructed to post my passport.

Yeah, for me, the application form behaved unusually when the option 2 chosen. It kept sending me back to the requirement to verify my identity. But eventually, the application form just confirmed my identity as verified without any additional postings to the HOlisa193 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 8:15 pm
That being said, nowhere throughout the application process I was told where to send my passport to. More than that, I was supposed to keep it for my biometrics appointment. And there seem to be people on this forum transitioning from Tier 1/2/4 to EU Settlement as a family member who have encountered the same problem.
Sure, I never meant to suggest that. Quite the contrary, my comment is supposed to mean that without a BRC you cannot chose this option. Sorry if that was not clear.
I would think you can do two things:nowhere throughout the application process I was told where to send my passport to. More than that, I was supposed to keep it for my biometrics appointment. And there seem to be people on this forum transitioning from Tier 1/2/4 to EU Settlement as a family member who have encountered the same problem.
Just a quick update. Called the resolution centre on the phone - the reason I haven't been told that I have to post my documents is because I DON'T have to. They counted the biometrics appointment as an identity proof as my passport has been scanned at a government facility as they referred to it.kamoe wrote: ↑Thu Jan 09, 2020 10:45 pmSure, I never meant to suggest that.

1) Check, doule check, and triple check your emails for any missed notification from the EU Resolution Center to see if you might have missed details of the next steps. Dont forget your spam folder (useful keyword is "EU Settlement").
2) If the above does not work, then the best thing for you to do is to contact the EU Resolution Center using this form with your query and ask what you are supposed to do. They usually reply within 48 hours.
Good luck.
