This estimate is based on a number of assumptions as to how the size of the eligible EEA population will change over the period. The range should be considered indicative as future migration flows can be affected by many factors and are difficult to predict.</p><p>Two reports on the private testing phases have already been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1 and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-2/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-testing-phase-2-report)</p><p>Interim statistics on the public beta phases were also referenced in the Written Statement HCWS1387WS1387 of 7 March <br>(https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-07/HCWS1387/ )</p><p>We will publish further data on the operation of the EU Settlement Scheme in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/04/2019 09:59:07 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to tackle the issue of the official name of Bulgarian citizens appearing in Cyrillic on their EU settled status applications as a result of the first line of their passport being written in the Cyrillic script.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2019 answer text <p>The EU Settlement Scheme is streamlined, user-friendly and will be accessible to all prospective applicants. To provide a simple user experience and to increase data accuracy, we use technology to read data direct from the passport Machine Readable Zone (MRZ) the text at the bottom of a passport and the passport chip.</p><p>Neither the MRZ nor the chip in the document include special characters such as Cyrillic script. This is in line with International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standard for passports that all EU passports adhere to. The ICAO standard provides translation matrices for each marking to the English alphabet, and it is intended that the digital status shown to individuals will follow the same format and display names in Latin script only. However, in some cases, we are aware that Cyrillic characters are appearing within the digital status name, and we are investigating why this is happening so that this can be rectified.</p><p>The test phases have provided us with a useful opportunity to prove various elements of the scheme functionality and we continue to refine the handling of special characters, including how this could apply retrospectively to any applicants who may want their data to be corrected</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 01/03/2019 13:04:18 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
