Proof of residency

Hello,
My husband and I will be naturalising soon and would like some clarification regarding proof of residency. We are in receipt of refugee travel documents which are now expired but never used at at anytime to travel. We used them as identification when applying for ILR. My question is that can we use them as proof of residency for the last 5 years instead of providing P60's,council tax and mortgage deeds?

With expired or not stamped passports it is normally required to submit documents supporting residency such as P60s or council tax, for each year. Only a minimum of documents is needed.

I thought so too but wasn't sure. Thanks for the clarification. Will get the paperwork ready for each year.

utility bills and council tax bills are not considered as residency proof. You need payslips, employer letter, p60, p45 or medical appointements

As far as I'm aware CT bills are accepted as proof, they are issued by official bodies - utility bills are not acceptable as you say.
