If you are thinking of living in another EU country then your life may get easier following a vote in the European Parliament this week. MEPs voted for an EU-wide common public documents system to help verify the paperwork for the likes of nationality, marriage and birth certs. According to the European Parliament more than 14 million EU citizens live in a member state other than their home country. They frequently have to deal with tedious procedures if they want to marry, declare the birth of a child or prove a clean criminal record. Under the new rules multilingual forms will be attached to the original documents to avoid the need for translation. The Fine Gael MEP Deirdre Clune is on the European Parliament’s Transport Committee.
