Proof of living in the UK

[sobanoodle]

Hello guys,

I am an EU citizen and have been granted ILR under EU Settlement Scheme in October 2019.
I have a question regarding proof of living in the UK for 5 years.
As an EU ctizen my passport does not get stamped.
I have not been employed since 2018, threfore I can't use employment as a proof.

2018: UK university degree
october 2018-october 2020: lived in a shared house with my partner, therefore I have no bills in my name
october 2020-present I have council tax and other bills in my name.

I am aware bills are not suitable proof. But in my case, is there any other way to prove my residency? I read somewhere that physical bank transactions can work as well.

Thanks in advance.

Bills from private organisations and bank statements are not accepted for this application.
I suggest you have a good search though your paperwork look for anything that's come from official organisations, such as GP, NHS, DWP (Social Security), council communications, anything from your uni, student loans, HMRC, etc. etc.

Thanks for reply! I very appreciate it.
Do I have to cover all months in each year or if I have a letter from NHS from july 2020 is that sufficient proof for year 2020?

You don't need to prove every month of residency .... one per year is probably fine, or maybe a couple more for good measure.

Noted! Thanks again and wish you a good day.

Be aware that your documents needs to cover whole period not just a month ! For examples: if NHS letter covers just a month of 2022, it is just for a month not whole year, but documnts like p60 or council tax covers long period like a whole year!
