But when a decision has been made that a person does not require international protection, the Home Office will take steps to remove that person. Removal is only enforced when the Home Office and the courts conclude that it is safe to do so, with a safe route of return.</p><p>Re-documentation interviews with officials from receiving countries are a standard part of the Home Office returns process.</p><p>Once an individual no longer has the right to remain in the UK and a travel document is required to facilitate return, interviews are conducted by officials from diplomatic missions to establish nationality and identity to enable a travel document to be produced. Basic personal information and supporting evidence such as a copy of a passport or birth certificate (if available), are provided to officials to support this process.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 18/03/2019 17:24:55 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
