Please read the declaration below and sign it. It should be signed by you (the applicant) and not

I hereby apply for a derivative residence card. The information I have given in this form is
complete and is true to the best of my knowledge.
I confirm that the photographs submitted with this form are a true likeness of me, as named
on the back of each photograph, and that I have had the opportunity to see the Home Office
photograph guidance.
I confirm that if, before this application is decided, there is a material change in my
circumstances or new information relevant to this application becomes available, I will inform the
Home Office.
I understand that all information provided by me to the Home Office will be treated in confidence
but that it may be disclosed to other government departments, agencies, local authorities, the
police, foreign governments and other bodies for immigration purposes or to enable them to
perform their functions, and that, if such bodies provide the Home Office with any information
about me which may be relevant for immigration purposes, it may be used in reaching a decision
on my application.
I understand that my details may in certain circumstances be passed to fraud prevention
agencies to prevent and detect fraud and money laundering. I also understand that such
agencies may provide the Home Office with information about me. Further details explaining
when information may be passed to or from fraud prevention agencies and how that information
may be used can be obtained from the Home Office website.
I understand that documents provided in support of this application will be checked for
authenticity, and that false documents will be retained and may result in my application being
refused and in my prosecution and subsequent removal from the UK.
I understand that the Home Office may also use the information provided by me for training
purposes.
I am aware that it is an offence to make a statement or representation which I know to be false
or do not believe to be true, or to obtain, or seek to obtain a registration certificate by means
which include deception.
I understand that if I am informing the Home Office that I have changed my gender, these
details may in certain circumstances be shared with other Home Office colleagues. I consent
to this, where necessary and understand that this information will only be shared in limited
circumstances relating to identity and security in line with section 22 of the Gender Recognition
Act. I am aware they will otherwise be treated in confidence and that my rights under the
Equality Act 2010, Data Protection Act 1998 and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human
