EEA Family Permit - original passport or certified copy?
Posted: Mon Feb 13, 2017 6:15 pm
Hi all, can anyone help?
Regarding application for EEA Family Permit for my wife, the application page on gov.co.uk (https://www.gov.uk/family-permit/surinder-singh) states:
"You must provide your family member’s valid passport (or a certified copy if you can’t provide the original)"
Ideally I want to keep my passport due to some issues during the time the Family Permit application is submitted.
I know they are getting more and more strict with original documents.
Does anyone know if there are currently any problems with supplying a copy of my passport certified by a Notary Public here in Germany? Will we have any problems with the ECO if I submit a certified copy?
Many thanks.
