Dear Sir/Madam

I want to bring in your notice that as per new rules for life in the UK test, a problem has arisen. My wife has name on council tax bill. As per new rules, address proof should not be older than 3 months prior to date of the test. But council issues one tax bill every year. If somebody wants to give exam after six months, then she can not use the bill as an address proof. Attaching below is the copy of new rules.

Kindly advise on this.



One of the following with your name and postcode on it. From 1st January 2015 candidate proof of postcode cannot be any older than 3 months prior to the date of the Test.
A water, gas or electricity bill
A council tax bill
A letter or document from the Home Office with your name and address on it
A UK driving licence
A bank statement / credit card statement (a printed copy of a bank statement is acceptable however it MUST have been stamped and signed by the issuing branch)

Does your wife not have any recent letter per the list in her name?

Is this preparation for ILR as you have posted in the British Citizenship forum.

I applied for my naturalisation on 3rd March 2015. And for ILR I Passed the test in 2013 august at that time our address was different from the present one . when I was submitting for naturalisation so recently we moved to new home in December 2014. So does it make any problem for me ?

No, it won't.

As far as I'm aware, proof of address being less than 3 months old has been the rule for a long while, its not a new rule.

When my other half had taken the LIUK over a year ago, it was the same rule then, proof of address no less than 3 months old.
