The lists below outline the types of documentation we are able to accept for Proof of Identification and Proof of Address.

If you are sending original documents to us in the post, they will be returned to you by first class post after they have been checked and scanned onto our system. Certain sensitive documents will be returned by Signed For delivery, where a signature will be required from you on receipt for proof of delivery. Please do not send documents in the post that you may need in the immediate future.
