Welcome to the EU. You know that “freedom of movement” that everyone keeps talking about re Brexit? That’s what this is. I can live here without any limitations. But actually getting ID, that’s not an EU matter, that’s national. So it’s bound to the UK. Here, after 5 years living here you get to apply for official residency status. 10 years; nationality. But regardless of that you can live here (until Brexit). So, yes. I’m not making this up. I’m not trying to prove a point out of spite. This is my life, and that of every EU migrant here, that I know. None of which could be a CB user, if that requirement is enforced.
