Documents required when giving notice

Proof of address

The registrar also needs proof of your individual address. Only items from the following list may be accepted.

Please make sure all documents are original and not photocopies. If you bank online, we can accept a printed statement. All evidence must be paper-based as the exact document may need to be presented in a court of law. We will not accept any electronic-based evidence. We cannot print evidence for you. Failure to bring these documents will need you to re-book and pay another fee.

Please bring one item from the list for each person attending:

• Gas, water, electricity, or landline telephone bill dated no more than three months before the date of your notice appointment. Mobile telephone bills are not acceptable.
