European Commission wants a single physical document for all Britons living in the EU by the end of the transition period

A London-based diplomat from an EU country said the thinking in Brussels was that a physical card would allow their holders to prove their status and right to access public services in a much easier way than if they were handed a digital certificate.“It is of course almost the same as the standard format for third-country national documents but specifies that our status derives from the Withdrawal Agreement,” she said.

In contrast, the U.K. government has opted for providing EU citizens in the country with digital proof, through an online platform that requires those with settled or pre-settled status to log in. That decision has been criticized by campaigners for EU citizens’ rights, who argue a digital system makes it harder for them to prove their status when required and might leave them exposed to discrimination by landlords, banks and others.
