Hi,
I'm an EU citizen settled in the UK and my wife is here with me on EEU Family Permit. We are about to apply for a Residence Card for her.
Section 9 of the EEA2 form says that one of the documents should be provided:
"Your current passport or ID card. If you do not have a passport or ID card, you must provide another form of identity."
I know that normally people send passports, but if we do so it is going to lock us here in the UK until the application is processed (AFIK it takes about 6 months). Also it's true you can get the passport back if you are planing to go away for a while, but it slows down the whole process I think.
Anyway does that line from the section 9 mean that we can go to a certified translator with my wife's national (Brazilian) ID card, get it translated into English and submit it instead of her passport?
Thanx in advance for your replies!
K.
