Under EU law, there is no requirement to apply for anything, provided you meet the requirement of the rules, as you could be asked at anytime to provide the basis of the right from which the residence card is derived.
Under the directive you are required to show that you are a worker, self employed or a self sufficient person, at the time of seeking PR, following retention of residence.
The UK illegally take a different approach. They require you in regulation 10(6) to show you meet those criteria at the point of application.
