If you don't have all the required documents for your application, you can still proceed by providing what you have and following the guidance specific to your situation. For example, if you are applying for a disability-related service and cannot provide the proof of disability, you can complete a GP referral form, and Stoke-on-Trent City Council will contact your GP for confirmation.
Here's a quick overview of the essential documents you'll need:
| Document Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Photo | A recent passport size photo with a plain background. |
| Proof of Identity/Age | Such as a birth certificate, driving licence, passport, or prescription. |
| Proof of Address | Council tax bill (current year), household bill (last 3 months), bank statement (last 3 months), or utility bill implying the date of printing. |
| Proof of Disability | Necessary only if applying under the disability criteria. |
