EU citizens are acceptable, providing they have two years of UK residential address history and must provide valid evidence that a settled status has been granted under the EU Settlement Scheme.
A pre-settled status can be considered, where there is more than one applicant and at least one applicant has either a settled status or indefinite rights to reside in the UK.
The evidence can be a Residence Card or via the View and Prove Your Immigration Status Online Checking Service provided by the UK Home Office. To use the UK Home Office checking service, the applicant must obtain and provide a ‘Share Code’ that will allow us to check the applicant’s settlement status.

A UK Government Home Office letter confirming settlement status cannot be used as evidence.
