FLRM documents question

[usukcouple]

Hi everyone. My wife and I are currently in the process of gathering documents for her FLR(M) application.

When she moved here, we initially lived with my parents for a month. During that month, she set up her bank account and my parents' home address is the address they initially had on file for her. Since we weren't getting any mail from the bank and my parents continued to live at the same house, she only got round to changing her address to our current home with the bank in October last year.

The statements we have from them covering the last six month have two addresses on them. Everything up to October has my parents' address and beyond that, they have our current address, which is the address on our application. We don't intend to use the bank statements as proof of residence, just as financial evidence.

Will this cause a problem? Is it worth writing a covering note for the statements explaining the two different addresses?

It wouldn't be a problem even if you were using it as proof of residence, let alone that you're not.
If you have concerns, you can always explain about it in a cover letter for peace of mind.
We are contractors and have had 5 different residencies in the past 2.5 yrs and the HO didn't have any issues with it.

If you are applying for FLRM extension then don't forget 6 piece of documents requirements for proving cohabitation.

Hi all, we are preparing our documents to upload online via the Sopra Steria website. For the items of correspondence section, are PDF copies of bills downloaded from utility companies' websites appropriate to use? They've not been sent in the post to us as we are on paperless billing but are technically official documents since we have downloaded them via our accounts on their websites.
