Thanks for your reply !

I read in the forum the possibility to ask for "Employment history" to HM Revenue and Customs
I sent the "application form" last month and I have just receive a letter showing PAYE P14 (NIC´s National Insurance Contributions) for the requested period (Tax Year 2013/2014 to 2018/19).

My question is:

Does this document substitute all P60`s forms?
Is this letter a valid as a evidence of residence in Uk?

Thanks for your help in advance, I appreciate your time
