Permanent Residence vs Registration Certificate

Post by fills » Thu Sep 07, 2017 3:44 pm

Hi

I recently applied for a permanent residence and a few weeks ago I received a letter from the Home office saying that I had to provide more evidence to be granted a permanent residence document. I was given a registration certificate.
I have 2 questions
1. What is the registration certificate and how is it different from a permanent residence document?

2. and secondly they have said that because I am a student 'We need evidence of your parents being in the country for this period and we would need to see evidence of funds'. What documents can I send them to show this?

For EEA nationals:

Registration certificate will confirm your residence status in the UK (legal resident status)
Permanent Residence proves your right to be here indefinitely (Settled status)

You clearly do not know how to read :?
See Section 18 - Documents and evidence in the application form
