You should also explain that after entry to the UK the holder could apply to the Home Office for a residence card.

The possession of a valid residence card (presently a Home Office endorsement in the holder’s passport) is sufficient for re-entering the UK providing the holder continues to qualify as a family member of an EEA national (as defined in Regulations 7, 8, 9 and 10), and is subject to the normal derogations of public policy, public security and public health.

Please note, registration certificates and residence cards are not currently required in the UK in order to be considered legally resident. (EEA nationals and their family members may choose to apply for this documentation as confirmation of their right of residence).
