BRP Renewal - Self Employed

[Mauds]

Hi,

I'm looking into renewing my BRP but am self employed and struggling with providing evidence of continuous residency.

The documents requested are:

The document(s) you provide must cover every year since you became a permanent resident. Example documents include: council tax letters; letter(s) from a GP confirming dates of attendance; letter(s) from a school or college confirming dates of attendance; electricity, gas or water bills; or letter(s) from employer(s) confirming employment

Having shared houses with others over the past 10 years, I don't have any bills with my name on them, or in fact any of the other documents in that list and can't find any guidance on gov.uk stating how a self employed person can provide evidence of continuous residency.

I have 3 questions:

1) I don't have an employer since I'm self employed - does anyone know if it's possible to supply self assessment tax returns instead?

2) Can anyone point me to any official guidance, or caseworker guidance for BRP renewal?

3) When I reach the "Documents" section in the BRP renewal online application it asks for consent for the Home Office to request verification for checks on accounts with a bank or utility company, but I don't see anywhere in the application where I can actually supply details about any accounts, or do I not need to and the Home Office will search and find any accounts under my name?

Thank you for your help!

I think your GP records, hospital visits , and bank statements can help
