<p><br>EU citizens make a huge contribution to our economy and society, and we want
them to stay. The EU Settlement Scheme enables them to do so. The application process
is short and user-friendly, and it will be accessible on any smartphone, tablet or
computer using internet browsers.</p><p>The ‘EU Exit: Identity Document Check’ app
– which allows applicants to prove their identity remotely, without sending in their
passport or national identity card – is currently available only on Android devices.
Applicants can, if they wish, use a family member or friend’s Android device to access
the app, and complete the rest of the process on their own device.</p><p>Additionally,
we currently have 13 locations where applicants can have their ID document scanned,
if they choose to do so. Once the scheme is fully open, by 30 March 2019, there will
be over 50 locations across the UK where applicants can have their identity document
scanned. Applicants will also be able to post identity documents to the Home Office
to be checked and re-turned quickly.</p><p>The Home Office and Apple continue to engage
to see if we can provide the equivalent service for those with Apple devices.</p>
