Will they have the account holder's current address or the address at the time of the statement?

Well they dont look good to be honest.Some banks do these on bad quality paper and some send bundle of all transactions.

I remembered when I got these I was disappointed and think why I wasted my £5 pound.

Yes they have bank logo and to be better side must certify these before applying.

If you only need them to confirm income and outgoings etc., then duplicates are usually adequate, as long as they have been stamped by the bank or are produced on headed paper.

"Duplicate" statements tend to look like computer printouts, with only a covering letter showing your current address.

If you want to rely on your bank's records, have you asked them if they will write a letter on their headed paper confirming what address(es) they have on your customer record over the last few years? I've never asked for this before, but it might be worth a shot if you're short on proofs of address.

If it doesn't come on headed paper etc. you should be able to take it into a branch and get it stamped as genuine anyway.

I used Barclays and there were Rubbish.

If they have bank logo and certified then no problem.
