UK Visas & Immigration have introduced online application forms for EEA nationals applying for registration certificates and documents certifying permanent residence. There has been no change to the rights and status of EU nationals in the UK as a result of the referendum. As such there is no requirement to register for documentation to confirm their status.
The relevant figures for the number of applications received decided by EEA nationals and their family members seeking confirmation of a right of residence in the UK under the Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 between 2014 and September 2016 are shown on Table 1 in the attached table. As yet, there are no published figures for October to December 2016.
