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. As a consequence, my Department is carrying out further enquiries in this case and the person concerned will be contacted when these enquiries are complete.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
