• your marriage or civil partnership to an EEA citizen has ended (with a divorce, annulment or dissolution)
• your EEA family member has died and you lived in the UK as their family member for at least one year before their death
• youÔÇÖre in education and youÔÇÖre the child of an EEA citizen (or their current or former spouse or civil partner) who has left the UK or died
• your child has a retained right of residence because theyÔÇÖre in education in the UK (and you have custody of them)

The applicants are required to prove:

• that your family member, or extended family member, was a permanent resident or qualified person at the time the relationship ended
• how the relationship ended ÔÇô for instance provide a death certificate of the EEA national has died, decree absolute if you are divorced.

An applicant can retain the right of residence as an extended family member if they meet both the following conditions:

• currently hold a valid residence card as the extended family member of an EEA national
• meet all of the relevant conditions

Unmarried partners of EEA nationals cannot retain the right of residence if their relationship has broken down.

Exercising Treaty Rights as EEA Nationals

[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” class=”” id=””]Under regulation 6 of the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006, a qualified person is an EEA national who is in the UK and exercising free movement rights in any of the following five categories:

The service has been launched to improve customer experience and to reduce the high volumes of requests being received by European Caseworkers at UKVI to return documents.

The European passport return service allows you and your family to take your passports to a participating local authority for verification and copying, and for the local authority to then send the copy to the Home Office. This allows you to keep your passports while your applications for documentation to prove your right to live in the UK are being processed. You can also include any family members (of any nationality) who you have included in your online application.
The European passport return service can only be used to verify and copy you and your familyÔÇÖs passports, to submit with your applications. National identity cards and other supporting evidence must be submitted as originals only.[/fusion_text][fusion_title hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” size=”3″ content_align=”left” style_type=”single solid” sep_color=”#e0dede”]How does it work?[/fusion_title][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” hue=”” saturation=”” lightness=”” alpha=”” content_alignment_medium=”” content_alignment_small=”” content_alignment=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” margin_top=”” margin_right=”” margin_bottom=”” margin_left=”” fusion_font_family_text_font=”” fusion_font_variant_text_font=”” font_size=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_transform=”” text_color=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=””]The EEA and Swiss nationals have to complete an online application and then take their passport (together with the other documents UKVI require) to one of the 46 participating Local Authorities or nominated UKVI premium service centre (in Belfast or Glasgow) who will check and copy the passport return it to the customer straight away.
