UK nationals and their family members who are beneficiaries of the Withdrawal Agreement will be exempt from registration in the EES only if they hold a specific residence document:
a) a valid Withdrawal Agreement residence document issued by the Member State that is their Withdrawal Agreement host State;
b) a valid Withdrawal Agreement frontier worker document issued by the Member State that is their Withdrawal Agreement State of work;
c) a valid special temporary Withdrawal Agreement residence document issued by the Member State that is their Withdrawal Agreement host State; or

Withdrawal Agreement beneficiaries who do not hold any of the above documents will be registered in the EES. They can later ask to have their data deleted or amended in the system if they show that they hold any of the above documents.
CAB note* UK Nationals who are resident holders of the green registration certificate, will not be exempt from the Entry and Exit System (EES) accepted residency documents with photographs can be found in the link below.
Please note that holders of the green residency certificate will not be exempt from the upcoming EES checks. Only residents with the new biometric residency cards, which include fingerprint data, will be exempt. If you hold a green certificate, you may need to consider exchanging it for a biometric card to avoid delays when travelling.,
