Proof of address

Proof of address is one of the first English phrases Polish immigrants learn in the UK. Opening a bank account or registering with a GP requires proof of address, evidence that you live in the United Kingdom.

Documents accepted as proof of address by institutions include:

• A utility bill, for example, an electricity, gas or water bill (cannot be more than 3 months old)
• Council Tax Bill for the current tax year for the property you occupy.
• Bank Account Statement (cannot be more than 3 months old)
• Credit / Debit Card Account Statement (cannot be more than 3 months old)
• Current Tenancy Agreement
