Do I need to provide proof of my current address?

We may ask for evidence of your current address or address history as part of identity & referencing checks. It is not always necessary to have a UK or Irish address already, particularly if you are relocating.

Documents that may help

• A recent utility or council-tax bill, where applicable.
• A bank statement or official correspondence showing your name & address.
• A current tenancy agreement.
• Another accepted document requested by the referencing provider.

The document normally needs to show your full name & the address you have declared. We will explain any rules about document age or format when a particular proof is requested.

If you live with family, have recently moved or are coming from overseas, tell us rather than supplying an address document that is inaccurate. We can explain what alternative evidence may be considered.

Upload documents through the verified application process rather than posting identity or address details publicly.
