Age Proof requirement for HSMP application

[CraveforUK]

Hi,

Is it mandatory that we have either the birth certificate or valid four wheeler driving licence as a proof of age for HSMP application ?

The reason is i am 38 years old and i am NOT getting any points from the age section.

I am an Indian and currently in UK (under workpermit). I know that it is a long process to get four wheeler driver's licence in UK. The other option is to get the drivers licence in India since it is easier over there. If that is the case, i am planning to apply for HSMP once i go back to India (in few months time). That will delay the application submission.

Can you people in this forum help me in suggesting alternative options
so that i can still apply for HSMP, being in UK, without the birth certificate and drivers licence (like, can i submit my passport or tenth grade marks card as age proof or any alternative) ?

I appreciate your quick reply.

Regards

Applying from the UK on WP you will now have to apply for Tier1 and not HSMP.

Please read the information on the bia website.

As per the new Tier1 rules, you are suppose to send the passports along with the application for applying. This passport can be used as a age proof as well.

Hope this helps.
