Unmarried partner guidance on evidence...

[Suzie Canuck]

Hi all,

I'm interested in whether anyone can give me some guidance on docs for unmarried partners. I am aware that you need at least 6 items spread over a 2 year period (at least 3 diff sources). My question is whether it is important to have at least one item in joint name that is recurring over the 2 years, or if its ok to have a lot of different things covering different periods. This is what I have:

- joint tenancy agreements but only covering one year (only partner on the first year's lease)

- joint council tax statements covering about one year (again - only in partners name for the first year)

- individual bank statements, NHS letters, Payslips, creditcard statements etc. for me across the entire 2 years

- individual electricity bills, bank statements credit card statements for my partner across the entire 2 years

- additional random documents, including voter registry letters with both our names registered at the same address

Does this seem adequate? I worry about the fact that none of our joint stuff is continuous over the 2 years - but I'm not sure if this is evena requirement.

Any advice or experience in this regard would be really appreciated!!

Thanks all,

Suz
