Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taken to ensure that the Status Checking Programme is fully operational before the UK leaves the EU.

The online status service for those granted status under the EU Settlement Scheme has been operational since summer 2018, and has already been used by hundreds of thousands of individuals to check their status information. Since the end of September 2019, those granted status under the Settlement Scheme have been able to share that status with any third party via a simple online service.
