Details

This guidance tells His Majesty’s Passport Office staff dealing with passport applications for customers born on or after 1 July 2021 when they need to check if UK Visas and Immigration would have granted the parent settled status on 30 June 2021.

It also tells them how to:

  • work out what the relevant period of time is
  • use the Residence Proving Service (RPS)
  • ask for evidence or residence
  • ask for evidence of a family relationship
  • do quality checks on passport applications where the examiner used the RPS
