Electoral Services can provide a confirmation of residence letter, which confirms an elector's entry on the current register of electors and may be used to pass on to a third party which requires proof of address. You can only request a letter about yourself or on behalf of an elector for whom you hold power of attorney.
Please note: when you first register to vote at your current address, a free letter which confirms your registration is automatically emailed or posted to each elector. This version may be adequate for your proof of address depending on what evidence a third party will accept. This avoids the need to purchase the confirmation of residence letter.
Fees
The letter costs £10 per elector.
Additional copies of the letter for the same elector will be charged at the standard copying rate of 10p per side of A4 in black and white. For example, three copies of a letter for one elector will be £10.20.
Payments can be made by debit or credit card.
To order a letter
Letters can be ordered by telephoning 01473 432000 and a payment will be taken at the same time.
Letters will only be dispatched upon receipt of payment. If payment has not been received within one month of the order, it will be assumed that the letter is no longer required.
Dispatch and collection
Letters will be posted out using first class postage. Please note, letters can only be posted to the address where the elector is currently registered, or collected from Grafton House Reception at an agreed time, with proof of I.D. (one photo document such as a passport or photo driver's license and one proof of address such as a utility bill).
