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 returned quickly.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 04/02/2019 17:10:22 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
