Registering marriage in Malta
Need to change the husband’s marital status Original documents to be kept and never returned Demand of obtaining Freedom of Movement despite
already having it as an EU citizen
SLIDE 4
Freedom of Movement
To change ID card EU citizen has to apply for
Freedom of Movement
Told that national law instead of EU law applies Cannot apply without the presence of the husband
SLIDE 5
ID card
Without Freedom of Movement no ID card No ID card no vaccines for my baby Husband has to apply for my ID Card on my behalf Being married to a Maltese citizen deprived me of my
right to apply myself as a student/employee
SLIDE 6
Conclusion
From an attempt to register a marriage, a series of further issues followed:
No Freedom of Movement = No ID Card = No vaccinations What situations dictate that EU laws and regulations would be over-ruled by National Law? How can a common citizen recognize when this applies?
