As well as your notice forms, you must send us the following, for you and your partner:
- your completed contact form, with at least your daytime telephone number and email address included
- birth certificate or adoption certificate
- proof of where you live, dated in the last 3 months, for example a bank statement, utility bill, valid UK driving licence, most recent council tax bill
