When completing the referencing application form, you will be asked to provide us with a copy of one of your proof of identity documents. You can provide us with any one of the following:
Preferred
- Passport
- British Citizenship Certificate
Alternative
- Biometric Immigration Document
- Driving Licence
- UK Adoption Certificate
- UK Birth Certificate
Where possible, we request that you provide us with one of the documents from the 'preferred' list above. If this is not possible, you are able to upload a document from the 'alternative' list instead.
If you are unable to provide a copy of any of the proof of identity documents listed above, you are able to opt out of this section of the reference.
That said, landlords need to be confident of their tenant's identity before accepting them for a tenancy, and also need to conduct in-person Right to Rent checks before the tenancy can begin. For this reason, failing to provide a valid proof of identity document may result in your application being delayed or rejected by the landlord.
