EEA3 application - passport or ID?

[Parada]

Hi, I'm getting ready to submit EEA3 application and in the first section of the form they request passport or travel document number, however I would like to submit an ID instead. Can I put an ID number in, although it does not specify that option on the form? Or should I put a passport number in and send my ID card?
Also I have a one - one and a half month gap between jobs while relocating to another part of the country, I was applying for jobs but have nothing to prove it (it was four years ago), how much will it influence the application, any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I did attach only the ID card to both my EEA1 and EEA3 applications, although I can't really say from memory what I wrote in that specific field of the forms. I remember listing somewhere all the document numbers of my ID cards and passports which I had used over the years at British ports of entry.

I did also had a 2 and an half months break between jobs, during most of which I was abroad for personal reasons, so I did attach also the job offer for the newer job, on which there was a reference to a job interview I had with them a week before starting that, but I'm not absolutely sure a break of less than 3 months would break the continuity of exercising of treaty rights, actually that would have surprised me.

They didn't ask for CSI or anything, but I had attached both my June 2006 RC and my British EHC, albeit I don't really know how that could have been meaningful or helpful.

They gave me the PR vignette attached to a dark blue paper.

Hi, thanks for your comments, I thought it might not be a big issue, but I want to do this right first time around, not give them a reason to question anything. Hence my question about the ID, if I put in my passport number and send my ID they can say that does not match, but if I put in my ID number along with the card they can say they asked for passport number!
Common sense would be to do the second option, but unfortunately common sense does not always apply when dealing with paper work :shock:
