Digital copies of documents

Hello,

A significant portion of the documents I have gathered for my ILR application are print outs of digital copies. This includes the P60s and pay stubs, as well as many bills used for proving cohabitation.
My employers (current and previous), won't stamp the P60s as they claim they are already attested by HMRC.
Are printouts of soft copies acceptable by the home office or should I expect problems because of this?
My bank statements are the originals.

Thanks,
Nitch

No, although, the guidance might suggest that company needs to stamp it, I have had 3 successful visa applications on the back of submitting e-payslips with no stamps or additional explanations. Ironically, my first visa extension was providing e-payslips from the same system HO/UKVI employees get their e-payslips from - I was working in the Civil Service for a central Government department back then.

I am speaking from actual experience so pretty sure you will be fine. Just ensure you submit the other financial evidence - employer letter; bank statements corresponding to payslips; contract, if possible.

Moreover, during my previous successful visa applications, I did submit online copies of documents. I don't see the difference whether a printer in your home prints it or the one at the organisation.
