RE: Tenancy Agreement for UC

Hi kuju2,

I'll try answer your questions to the best of my knowledge:

1) Should scanned copy of passport be in colour or greyscale? When I had to submit my passport upload, I was told to send the front and back pages in colour, and also a photo of me holding my passport outside my front door.

2) Tenancy Agreement is 15 pages long. Should I scan all of it? Amount of rent is on Page 2 & 4, Details of landlord on page 3 and parties signatures on page 15. Do I scan all of the document or just these pages? I would scan all of these to be on the safe side. The upload link from the UC department usually contains a link that allows only 10 uploads at a time, so you may have to request 2 or 3 links from them to upload everything. Just remember to include in the description what is included, but I can see by your written English that you seem to be very thorough - so hopefully everything will go smooth for you.

3) Should council tax bill be 2024/25 or 25/26 also the same for ESA Letter? Also should council tax letter be scanned in colour or greyscale? We are finishing the 24/25 season of Council Tax at the end of this month - based on if you're on a 12 month payment. If you were on the standard 10 month payment, then it would've finished in January 2025. 25/26 bill starts in April this year. Greyscale is fine with this, as it saves on colour ink costs. ESA is also fine in grey.

Hi kuju,

I mean the front part that shows your photo and the back part that has your emegency contacts and passport number on them. I believe it was them 2 pages, however this was 4 or 5 years ago when I completed this. I also had to do a selfie, holding my passport in my left hand and taking the photo with my right - it was very difficult trying to fit it all in, and holding it, but I managed.

Also, any council tax bill will work - this is simply proof that you're living in the property you've told them, so either is fine

Hope this helps answer your questions - please feel free to come back, should you need further assistance with anything else.

Chris.
