Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to amend the IT system for settled status applications so that it accept applications from people over the age of 100.

Applicants of any ages, including those over the age of 100, are able to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme via the online application form.

We are aware of a very small number of applicants over the age of 100 who have seen incorrect content relating to their age when making their application via the identity app. These issues are caused by the format of the date of birth in the Machine Readable Zone and Biometric Chip in the applicant's identity document and we are investigating ways to address this.

Applicants are encourages to contact the Settlement Resolution Centre if they experience any issues or have any concerns about their application. Our trained agents can amend the date of birth manually in the event of any errors.
