Question on Background Declaration - Previous Addresses
Hi Guys
We're having a stab at filling out the imm8 form and have found that it is asking for a list of all the addresses you have held since the age of 18. I am 39 and have lived in at least 14 different places since the age of 18, I cannot remember all the dates and all the housenumbers. Will addresses for the last 10 years do?
Thanks

Re: Question on Background Declaration - Previous Addresses
Try your best and explain the gaps in a cover letter. Probably the best you can do. Or if you can remember the addresses but not the dates, be rough but also mention it all in a cover letter with the form. We sent a letter with every single form explaining anything that needed further explanation and to cover any gaps and holes.

Just thought to add my thoughts to the melting pot. I think that CIC only need to know so that they can confirm background checks and that the Police clearance certs are relevant for the locals in which you may have come to their notice. So if you really can't remember a covering letter which states the area, or ask a long standing friend where you have lived. I know from my messy address book that whenever someone moves, I have simply crossed out the old and written the new below it....a long shot but may come up trumps
Good Luck anyway

The reason I mention this is because not only do you get a record of you employment history including where you worked and when which is very helpful with the forms. It also gives your addresses, and although it does not go as far a to say "you moved to this place on this date" it does give you an idea of where you lived in certain years which can help greatly.
I sent both mine and my husbands NI files with our info to CIC so they could see the official documentation of where we worked etc. We never got asked for further clarification so it must have been okay.
Good luck.

We had this same problem and I sent off for our National Insurance files. You can do this under the data protection act and it is free.

I've just been trawling through my fading memory banks and have remembered the streets but not the housenumbers and dates so that idea will work a treat.
Where and how do I apply for the NI files?

Write a cover letter explaining that you are requesting disclosure personal data held about you under the provision of the Data Protection Act 1998.
You should include your full name, address, date of birth and of course your NI number.
They shouldn't take long to reply.
Good luck
