Copy of residency permit?

[Avadava]

Hey all,

quick question about an item that appears on my checklist (country specific)

I am Romanian residing in Germany since 2009. According to my checklist: "If you reside in a country different from your nationality,include a copy from your visa or residency permit for the country in which you currently reside."

My problem is that I do not have a visa nor a residency permit. As a EU citizen, I have the right to live, work and study in any country in EU (Romania and Germany are state members of EU). I have explained this on a cover letter to CIC. Also, on my passport in says under residence: RF Germany. Would this be proof enough that I live here legally? I also have a business registered here from 2009 (I am a freelance business English trainer), I file taxes every year, I pay pension, etc.
I went to the immigration office here in Germany and asked them something to proof that I am legal, they said they don't give such a thing to EU citizen, because my nationality implies I am staying here legally.

I would appreciate any thoughts you might have on this.

You will be fine with that. Perhaps photocopy that page from your passport and include it with your application.

Thank you for putting my mind at ease. Some days I feel like my head is about to pop from all of this.
