This will minimise the extent to which applicants need to provide documentary evidence of residence. Where they do, a wide range of documents can be used, as set out in the guidance at:<br> https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-settlement-scheme-evidence-of-uk-residence</p><p>The applicant can prove their identity remotely through the identity verification app which has been developed for the scheme and which can also be accessed at what will be a wide range of locations across the UK. From the full opening of the scheme by 30 March 2019, they will also be able to post their identity document to the Home Office to have this checked and returned to them as soon as possible.</p><p>In respect of criminality, applicants aged 18 or over are required to provide information about previous criminal convictions in the UK and overseas, and are only required to declare past criminal convictions which appear in their criminal record in accordance with the law of the State of conviction at the time of the application. All applications are subject to a check against the Police National Computer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 06/03/2019 17:22:41 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

uin	HL13919
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office is putting in place measures to ensure that the EU Settlement Scheme is streamlined, user-friendly and accessible to all prospective applicants. Applicants will only need to complete three key steps - prove their identity, show that that they live in the UK, and declare any criminal convictions. Where an applicant provides a National Insurance Number, we will conduct an automated check of residence based on tax and certain benefit records.</p><p>The checks with HMRC caters for those who are self-employed and where a self-assessment is submitted with a profit, this counts as a year’s residence. <br>However, the tax year for self-assessment is up to a year behind a person’s potential residence. For instance, the tax return for the financial year 2017/ 2018 is completed in January 2019. This means there will be no data to confirm residence for the current tax year but applicants can upload supplementary evidence to fill in any gaps in the data.</p><p>We will accept a range of documents as evidence and the documents can be submitted digitally through the online application form.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 06/03/2019 17:17:02 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
