'Reactivating' C permit

As an EU person, the difference between B and C is not that great (firearms, voting). Although that could change with immigration vote etc.

As far as I know, C permits are not limited by time at all, but there are simply control check periods e.g. every 5/10 years.

It took 4 days here from the day my OH handed the B permit renewal form in and him going to collect his new C permit.

They didn't ask for any documentation whatsoever.

If they can check the records so easily without our knowledge why do some cantons ( not NE) ask for a copy of the debt register, income etc when renewing?

Surely it would just be simpler and quicker for them to do it themselves.

An idea, but I think some cantons look at the data privacy laws differently. If you get a copy of your own private details and give it to them, they can't be held responsible for the data confidentiality being lost.
