The following forms of official evidence will be accepted: marriage certificate; civil partnership certificate; deed poll; adoption papers; a statutory declaration and divorce certificate / dissolution certificate.

It is important that we have your up-to-date telephone numbers in case we need to contact you urgently. Ideally we would like a home number and a mobile number. If you change your numbers, please ensure you notify reception.
