Renouncing British Citizenship to use EEA FP route

Hi there
Need help I lost my Renoucation letter when I gave up my English citizen. Is there anyway of getting another copy. As on the ee2 it is asking if I had another citizen. It's asking for dates( which I can't remember) plus I'm guessing they may need prove.
Thanks for your help

Hey Darren,

From what I understand the RN that you received, is the only copy that you will get from the Home Office.

You can request information from the Home Office though ... through something called a SAR (thanks Clive!) ... https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... mmigration

You get access to all the info that they hold for you on file (including their various databases) - but it takes up to 40 days for the information to be released.

You could also try calling the Home Office immigration helpline, just to see what they say.

hi everyone,
been a while since I was on this forum. It's been all go since my partner joined me in NI and time just seems to be whizzing by. I have left it rather late in doing his RC application, however I have completed the application but just need to pull together a cover letter. Has anyone any suggestions as to what to include in the cover letter? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A RC application is quite straightforward.
Why do you think a cover letter is required?

I've been advised by 3 other people i know that applied for RC to include a cover letter detailing why he is applying for RC. is this not required?

Do you know on what basis they say that?
Such a letter is not specified in EU law or the free movement Directive.

A RC is an optional confirmatory document that simply confirms someone's status in UK.
UKVI/HO know what its for as it comes from EU law that has been transposed into UK EEA Regs.
You don't need to explain that to the caseworker.

Unless there's anything funny about the application the details in the form (plus adequate documentary supporting evidence) should suffice.

oh thats good, thanks for clarifying that.Hopefully I can get it posted off first thing tomorrow then.

oh one question maybe you will be able to answer, in the section where it asks what ties the non eea has to his home country is ok just to write family?

If those are the ties then yes.
This is an example of where the UK application form goes above and beyond what is required by EU law and the Directive.
One can only speculate on why HO is doing this and for what reason(s) such information is squirelled away for future reference.

its the only ties he has, he doesn't have any property there or anything he would go back for other than to visit family.
