<p>The Home Office has recently launched a new Update my Details service to make it
easy for customers to keep their information up to date. The service currently enables
EU Settlement Scheme applicants to change their email address and telephone number
through an entirely online process. Name and ID Document updates currently require
applicants to post their ID Document to the Home Office as supporting evidence and
to protect against identi-ty fraud, however we are continuing to deliver improvements
to make these processes as user friendly as possible by making them entirely online.</p><p>The
EU Settlement Scheme will make it easy for EU citizens who want to stay in the UK
to get the UK immigration status they need. We have conducted two successful private
test phases and have recently commenced the wider public roll-out to all resident
EU citizens with a valid passport. This is still a test phase, which we are conducting
so that we can continue to develop and improve the system before it fully launches
on 30 March, and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part so far.</p><p>Applicants
who have been granted Settled or Pre-Settled status can view and share their status
via the online Status service using the ID Document Num-ber that they used in their
application, alongside some user authentication. Users are encouraged to notify the
Home Office when they acquire a new ID Document which will then enable them to view
and share their online status using the new document. Alternatively, applicants can
continue to access their status using their original ID Document.</p><p>EU nationals
can continue to evidence their right to live and work in the UK using their passport
or identity card until 31 December 2020.</p>
