Sue29 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi all I need some guidance & advice, need to get a UK police check for my citizenship in January '17, so went on the ACRO website and need 2 separate forms of ID. I was wondering if they would accept my Tax certificate from ATO dated July (within 6 months as requested) and my rego renewal. My bank accounts are online statements I have a recharge phone so no contract. I live in a granny flat hence no bills of any description. I need the police check as in 2011 I returned to UK for a year so I need this for my application. Thanks all Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue29 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Woops meant 2013 not 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bungo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I would have thought passport and driving licence for proof of id. I can't see how a tax return would prove ID or any bills as they don't have photo on it. Or do you mean proof of address? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahgirl Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 I had the same problem when applying for my onshore Parents visa. They required 2 proofs of current address and I am also in a Granny annexe with no bills. I emailed them the problem and they said they would accept 2 proofs of my son's address plus a signed letter from him stating I lived with him. This was accepted. I would suggest you email your situation to ACRO. They replied very promptly. Better than 'second-guessing' what they'll accept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Both the tax statement and the rego renewal are official documents (more official than any bank statement or utility bill) so there really shouldn't be any problem in using them provided they are less than 6 months old.

Sue29 Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi all Just thought I would let you know I did my UK police check they say 10 days for it to be processed, which it did & it came back today just under 2 weeks for it to be posted to Oz. Thanks again all for your help Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
