A Public Services Card is issued to an individual following a robust registration process to establish and verify the person’s identity. Part of the required evidence of identity for a non-EEA national to get a Public Services Card is a current valid passport.

The person concerned claims to be unable to produce such a document at this time. Consequently, enquiries are being made with the embassy of his declared nationality to establish if and why this is so and to try to verify his identity. The person concerned will be contacted when these enquiries are complete.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
