Hull asks for different documents depending on which application you’re making, but the usual requirements are proof of identity, proof of address, and any form-specific evidence such as age, residency, disability, rent, or benefits. Here’s a quick summary of what’s listed in Hull’s published council information.

For the bus pass applications, Hull is specific about the format and age of some proofs: for example, bank statements and utility bills usually need to be dated within the last 12 months, and some council tax bills must be for the current year. If you want, I can also break down the exact accepted proof types for one specific application.
