Life in UK Test proof of address problem

Post by YRF » Sat Aug 12, 2017 10:19 pm

Hello :)

According to the guideline
"Bank statements must be an original statement printed by your bank. These statements MUST be stamped by the bank branch that gave you it."

I've tried to ask the manager in my HSBC branch for stamping but the answer is definitely a NO.
Seems like that many have the same issue before? will the orignal statement alone suffice?
(it's requested from HSBC online in letter form)

If anyone went with just original bank stament without stamp before, without problem let me know
Is there any alternatives? (like get any kind of letter form Home Office, like SAR?)

Or shall I call Life in UK test helpline

Yes, only orginal bank statements are accetable. Normally it clearly mentions on the statement that its original copy.

It's certainly original with colored heading and some QR code.
So a stamping is not necessary if it's original right?

Thanks!
