If you're unable to provide proof of address, there are a couple of routes you can explore, depending on what you need the proof for. For council housing applications, for example, it's essential to contact your housing office for guidance.
| Purpose | Action |
|---|---|
| National Entitlement Card | If you can't provide proof of address (like a utility bill or bank statement), you should email the transport team at transportadmin@eastlothian.gov.uk or visit your local library for assistance. |
| Council Housing Application | If you're having trouble providing proof, contact your housing office for support. It's crucial to reach out to them, as your application won't be processed without the necessary documents. |
If you are seeking to open a bank account and lack proof of address, East Lothian's Justice Social Work Department, in partnership with Shelter UK and HSBC UK, can assist you with their 'No Fixed Address' service, which allows you to open an account without typical documentation requirements.
