Proof of identity

New students applying for support in 2008/2009 should submit their passport as proof of identity. If you apply using the online service, you can submit these details online without having to send in your passport through the post.

If you don’t hold a passport you can submit your birth or adoption certificate, but you must also complete and return the birth/adoption certificate declaration form.

The form contains two separate declarations. The 'applicant's declaration of identity' must be signed by you (the student) to confirm your identity. The 'identity confirmation form' is to verify your identity and must be completed by a person of good standing in the community who has known you for at least two years.
