Job interview. Utility bills and bank statements

batesy2000

Hi. I have an interview soon and they want ID such as passport, driving licence, utility bills/bank statements etc.

The problem is I have a passport but drivers licence has been sent off for renewal. Utility bills are either paperless or in my partners name and all bank statements are paperless too.

What can I do? Do companies not realise many of us go paperless in an attempt to help the environment?

do u have a mobile phone bill in your name at all??

can you ask your service provider (bank, brodband or phone) to send you paper bill for this reason?

Print out some of the PDF copies of the paperless bills. I have found this to be acceptable in the past.

Print your own bills? You still receive them, just not on paper, so why can't you just print them off? Or go into your bank and ask them to print off your last months bank statement, then have them stamp in too

Don't they just want the one? Not all of them...so the passport should do it.

If you have a vehicle, car insurance papers have been an ok source for me in the past as that gives name/address one time when I'd left the other crucials on the coffee table at home! some jobs (typically ironically only tends to be admin!) where while they make a point you must bring, will forget about them most of the time or more important you take to 1st day if that brings you time, I wouldn't worry to much at interview stage unless it is vulnerable care type role where a DBS check for example would be required

Problem is a passport doesn't confirm your address. However it's good that you have one, as it's the easiest way to prove your right to work in the UK!

I was about to hit the 'go paperless' button on one banking website and then thought "no, useful to keep one coming on paper."

why do they need anything confirming your address?

passport is all you need to confirm right to work in the UK, no obligation in most jobs for them to confirm your address. (unless its for a CRB type check)
