    Good afternoon:

    I've been registered under the WRS and working for the same employer for one year and one month, after that period I took 1 month to search for a new job, which I will be starting tomorrow.

    My understanding is that I dont require to register again with the WRS as my 1 year registered and fully working has been completed, however, since my EEA1 Application still in process I am not sure, thats why I called the WRS phone line and the person who answered mentioned that I need to registered with my new employee, which seems different to what they say in their page.

    Do you guys know or have any experience as per if I need to register again with the WRS??

    Thank you all...

    The WRS is a formality with the UK government only. You being a Polish National, employers are aware that you have a legal right to work and stay here, and meeting the requirements for applying for the EEA1 (you worked 12 months with the WRS), you already have right of free movement. The EEA1 is just proof in your passport of this, though for EU nationals it is not a requirement (Home Office websites even state this).

    No need to apply for another WRS. You only do this if within the first 12 months, you were between employers and the gap between is more than 30 days, then yes you have to apply again for the WRS for the new employer.

    So for your new employer, no employment proof should have to be given as you now have met the initial 12 months on WRS as required by the UK government. Direct them to the Home Office website if they insist on proof that you can work, as they are just being ignorant at this point.
