Thank you for the suggestion. It could be an option. You made me realise something which I have completely missed: my daughter's passport has expired as it was only issued for two years! So I can't submit it. Do I need to get a new one or can I submit the birth certificate only? Should I mention the other surname, as this is the one she is registered under in the Spanish Consulate, in our Spanish "Family Book" and the surname she will have in her future passport when we need to travel again? Or perhaps I can include her in my application (EEA4)?acme4242 wrote:I have an even worse situation, my sons have dual citizenship and dual

I do apologise for this shower of questions, I am so confused! I will greatly appreciate help.
Thank you for your reply. If I understand correctly, I do not need to include her at all in any of the applications, either my husband's (EEA3) or mine (EEA4)? Thank you very much for your help.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Just so it is clear. If your daughter is a Spanish national, then you do not need to apply for anything for her. She can come and go on her Spanish passport, when you end up renewing it.
After living in the UK for a while, she could also become British.
I have a non-EU passport and need the confirmation to avoid trouble. I am also including my husband's application, who is Spanish, simply to support my application, as suggested by BA website. But now that you mentioned it, it would probably make things simpler if I only apply for myself. Thank you very much for your help!Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Let me step back for a second. Is there a specific reason your husband is applying for confirmation of Permanent Residence? Does you daughter also need that confirmation also?
Note that each of you are not legally required to get the confirmation: You have permanent residence even if you do not apply.
If you have a non-EU passport, then it may be easier for you to have explicit confirmation in your passport, for travel and for proving that you can work.
Thank you very much for this and all the help. I will not be the first one to say how great this board is. Thank you all very much!Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:Couple more things to think about, since it is a Sunday:
Your daughter is eligible to register as a British citizen, since she was born in the UK and you (or your husband) now have PR. You can find more on the UKBA web site about this.
Not sure exactly what Spain thinks of this sort of dual citizenship. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_na ... ationality It sounds like it should be fine, as long as she continues to actively use her Spanish citizenship.
And note that you can apply to be a British citizen one year after you have PR, assuming that is of interest.
