How can I document that I have a right to reside?


If you believe you have the right to reside, you must be able to document that the EU/EEA citizen is employed, self-employed, a service provider, a student, or has their own funds to support themselves.

If someone asks you to document that you have the right to reside, you can document this by showing employment contracts, assignment contracts, payslips, study certificates or the like.

As a family member, you must also provide documentation of the family relationship, for example a marriage certificate.

UDI cannot confirm your right to reside

UDI cannot confirm that the EU/EEA citizen is actually working, is self-employed, provides services or is a student, or has funds to support themselves. Therefore, UDI cannot give confirmation of the right to reside.

A registration certificate or a valid residence card is not a confirmation of the right to reside.
