Proof of address in the UK?
Can anyone offer any help on how my Chinese wife can get something with her name and address on it? We are living with my parents so obviously all bills, mortgage agreements are in their name. However, she can't get added onto my bank account or have her DBS check without something with her name & address on it at our current address.
Thanks! |

If she needs a bank account try Lloyds-tsb I moved back here in june from Canada and had no proof of address.
All Lloyds-Tsb wanted was my passport. |

Letter from HMRC. You don't have to be "settled" or anything special to pay taxes!

Re: Proof of address in the UK?
Thanks for the tips everyone!
Unfortunately the bank are very picky and can only accept: council tax bill utility bill telephone bill (not mobile) sky bill credit card bill bank statement mortgage statement tenancy agreement or HMRC tax notification. So as you can see for a couple who are living with my parents this rules out most of them and we're trying to get a bank account now so that rules out the rest! I've applied with Lloyds TSB so will update on whether that's successful. |

what about a drivers licence, even if it was provisional licence?

Re: Proof of address in the UK?
Some banks are picky, one ridiculous one told us we would have to wait 3 years to have spouse added to my account!!
Our Council Tax office was great just added his name to the bill and that was great for the other bank!! There would be nothing wrong with adding her to the council tax bill very straightforward and quick, can be done while you wait. nationwide in fact happy to open a bank account with nothing but the passport marriage cert and my proof of address, found out later!! |
Re: Proof of address in the UK?
I spoke to the local council and they very helpfully informed me that she didn't need to be added to the bill as it was my parents place. Even after we had explained why we needed it.
Will try the banks. Thanks again peeps :-) |
