Reg ID for UC claim was created by j
Hi please can any one tell me what can be used as ID for when a UC claim is done on line I do have a passport but at the moment I have not found it in my house
Also I don’t have any credit cards just a bank card
Yet I can provide proof of address via housing benefit and council tax support letter
Also I have letters from the dwp
and I do have my original birth certificate
and my tenancy agreement from when I moved into my council house many years ago

Does any one know if any of my above listed ID is ok to use for ID for UC for on line or over the phone etc

Hi j

You can verify your identity by one or more of the following:

~ online identity verification
~. face-to-face appointments
~. documentary evidence
~. biographical interviews

Other ways to verify your identity

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) uses a combination of documentary evidence, interviewing and information on DWP records to verify someone’s identity. This may include attending:

~. face-to-face appointments

~. phone biographical interviews

If your appointment is face-to-face at a Jobcentre Plus, you’ll need to bring ID and proof of address.

If you’re invited to a face-to-face interview at a Jobcentre Plus, you’ll need to bring ID and documents with you.

You’ll need to bring an original of all of the following:

~. one photo ID

~. one proof of address

~. one further proof of identity

You may be asked questions to confirm your identity if your ID or documents are not accepted.
