<p>Individuals granted pre-settled or settled status have had the option within the
‘view and prove your settled or pre-settled status’ service to share their status
information for a variety of reasons since 30th September 2019. This is done by generating
a ‘share code’ which can be given to a third party to provide them with time-limited
access to the data. One of these options (‘work in the UK’) takes users to a separate
Home Office service, which can also be used by individuals who have not been through
the EU Settlement Scheme (holders of Biometric Residence Permits (BRP) and Biometric
Residence Cards (BRC)).</p><p> </p><p>The ability to share information via the online
service(s) is entirely optional; EEA nationals can continue to rely on their passports
or national ID cards until at least December 2020 to evidence their rights in the
UK but can choose to use the online service if they wish. Those with a BRP/C can also
continue to rely on their physical cards.</p><p> </p><p>Data is collected on usage
of the service for internal purposes, to help us make improvements to the service,
and to inform how it is performing. Data relates to number of views on the service,
rather than unique users, and it is not currently possible to identify whether those
who go on to share their status have settled or pre-settled status.</p><p> </p><p>Data
on usage on the ‘view and prove’ service more generally will be published later this
year, as part of the Home Office Transparency Data.</p>
