Clearance endorsement on Form R.O.P.3b and allocation of an identity card number were preliminary administrative steps and did not constitute statutory authority to remain; authority to remain was granted under section 13 and only approved on 4 July 1979 (communicated 9 July 1979), so the father's ordinary residence commenced no earlier than July 1979 and the applicant was not entitled to the certificate.
