You must be able to prove your name, age, nationality and current address. For this you will need to bring along one of the following to your appointment:

  • a valid passport or
  • Home Office travel document.
  • If you do not have a current passport and were born on or before 31 December 1982, you will need to provide your birth certificate. If you were born on or after 1 January 1983, you will need to provide evidence of your parents' nationalities also.
