DBS Applications

I have to present an item from Group 1 and two items from Group 2.

I plan to present my passport (Group 1) and two bank statements (Group 2 - Section b). I wanted to ask if it is fine if I use bank statements for Group 2.

Any ideas?


P.S. Yes, it is education-related.

Thanks for reading the post!

You can't use two of the same type of ID, it has to be different.

I'm sure it has to be two different ones - i.e. a bank statement can only count for one, the other one from group B would have to be different.

Why not just use your birthday certificate and one of the bank statements?

My birth certificate is not UK based.

Thank you. Any idea what "Central or local government, government agency, or local council document giving entitlement" means?

Ah right. 1. Do you not have any of the other standard f documents? P60 or P45? Benefit letter? Utility bill? Council tax bill?




2. I think this means an official letter showing things like a tax code, etc. Do you have any letters from HMRC at all?
