EEA (QP) application in person at Croydon PSC

[Locke]

The EEA(QP) guidance notes say I can send my application to Durham or apply in person at Croydon Premium Service Centre. The guidance notes give no further information on this topic instead there's a link to book an appointment.

When I visit the linked page it talks about different visa types and mentions £400 application fee (incl. the £100 booking fee).

Taking into account EEA Registration Certificate & Document Cerifying Permanent Residence are not really visas I have doubts if the information mentioned on the linked page is fully applicable to EEA nationals.

Could you please advise:
1. whether it's possible to apply in Croydon for both EEA Registration Certificate & Document Cerifying Permanent Residence;
2. what are the full costs of this service for EEA nationals;
3. whether EEA Registration Certificate or Document Cerifying Permanent Residence will be issued and handed to the applicant on the day of visit or later?

Thank you!

Hi,
thank you for this information! Can you please add a link where did you get it from?

I'm checking the EEA(QP): guidance notes you can download at this gov.uk page.
In that file at the end of the first page it's written:

Send your completed application form, supporting documents, and payment of £65, to:
Home Office
EEA Applications
PO Box 590
Durham
DH 99 1AD
Alternatively, you can apply in person at Croydon Premium Service Centre.

Sending it to any other address will delay your application.

I agree that the two links are contradictory...perhaps other members will comment.

What exactly are you applying for and are you the EU national?

What exactly are you applying for and are you the EU national?

I'm an EU national and I'm applying for a registration certificate. A friend of mine who is also an EU national is going to apply for a document certifying his permanent residence (he's living in the UK for more than 5 years already)

I agree that the two links are contradictory...perhaps other members will comment.

I've checked your file and it's for a document certifying permanent residence. My file is about registration certificate only.
After all it seems there are no contradictiona between both documents.
Looks like an EEA national can only apply at Croydon PSC for initial registration certificate, but not for the document certifying permanent residence.

Finally one of the questions from my initial post is answered. Can please someone advise regarding 2 remaining questions?

2. what are the full costs of this service for EEA nationals;
3. whether EEA Registration Certificate or Document Cerifying Permanent Residence will be issued and handed to the applicant on the day of visit or later?
