7 How can I prove that I hold ‘Settled Status’

or ‘Pre-Settled Status’?

If your application is approved you will be granted

‘Settled Status’ or ‘Pre-Settled Status’ depending how

long you have lived in the UK. You will receive a

conf‌irmation email and an attached PDF letter telling

you which status you have been granted (this itself is

not evidence of your status). Non-EU citizens granted

such a status are issued with a physical biometric

residence card as proof of this status, unless they

already have an existing biometric residence card,

biometric permanent residence card or biometric

residence permit. You can apply to the Home Of‌f‌ice

for a new biometric residence card if the one you

have expires or is lost or stolen (there is a fee to

replace the document).
