Proof of address

Post by Belucci » Mon Aug 15, 2011 1:00 pm

Dear All,

I'd like to get advice on the proof of address documents.

I want to enclose bank statments as my proof of address. However, I am missing some statments since I am using online banking. I called my bank and requested a letter confirming the date I opened my account and from which date the statments have been sent to my address (I haven't changed my address during the 5 years period)

Would that be sufficient as a proof of address?

Thanks in advance and kind regards, b.

What do you need the proof of address for? An ILR application? If so, under what category are you applying?

... I think most banks will endorse account activity info from their online banking if you take hard-copies in to them. I did this for the most recent month prior to my PEO appointment (appointment was a few days before I usually received my statement in the mail - was dumb not considering this before I made my appointment).

Unfortunately given the main thread of your post, my printouts didn't include my postal address - just account numbers etc. Interestingly though, the issuing bank insisted on seeing my most recently posted statement before they'd endorse and stamp the printout.

no I don't. The bills are not on my name. I don't have a tenancy agreement either. It's on my friend's name. It's his house. I have to have bank statments as proof of my address. They don't clarify how many they need.
