Um ano passou, a correr. A expedita convocatória dos Serviços de Registo de Estrangeiros da autarquia local lembra-mo, para o caso de já me ter esquecido, assim:

You are requested to appear in person at this City, Ward, Town or Village Office and make Application for Confirmation of Facts in Registration with the following documents during the period between … and …:

  1. Certificate of Alien Registration (and your seal, if any)
  2. Passport
  3. Two copies of your photograph (taken within the last six months showing the full face in front, bareheaded and the bust of a size of 4.5cm in length and 3.5cm in width).

Para que não me esqueça. E como poderia?…
