To apply, Slough usually asks for the completed application form plus supporting evidence that proves who you are and that the details you’ve given are correct. What you need depends on the type of application, but the common things asked for are shown below.
| Application type | Details/documents needed |
|---|---|
| Job application / recruitment | Proof of qualifications or professional membership certificates; references if offered; original proof of ID such as a birth certificate, National Insurance number, passport or driving licence; and if your name has changed, any marriage or other relevant certificates plus previous address details. |
| Non-UK work eligibility | Evidence showing your right to work in the UK, which can include List A or List B documents such as a passport, Biometric Residence Permit, residence card, work permit or other Home Office approval depending on your circumstances. |
| Planning application | The correct planning application form; notice served on the owner if you are not the owner; a copy/evidence that notice has been served; and usually a location plan and site/block plan. |
| Lawful development certificate | Completed standard form; location plan; supporting evidence verifying the information in the application; other relevant information; and the correct fee where needed. |
| Housing payment application | Proof of rent, proof of Housing Benefit or Universal Credit, recent bank statements, details of income and spending, and evidence explaining why you are struggling with rent. |
| Marriage or civil partnership notice | Originals only: details of the final venue, a valid passport or UK birth certificate in some cases, proof of home address, proof of name changes, and if previously married/civil partnered, proof of divorce/dissolution or the former partner’s death certificate. |
For most applications, Slough is clear that photocopies are not enough where originals are requested, and incomplete applications can be delayed or rejected. If you want, I can narrow this down to one specific application type and list only the exact items needed.
