Module 5 – Address History Verification

You must verify 5 years of address history to ensure candidates are who they claim to be and reduce risk.

Evidence includes:

• Utility bills
• Bank statements
• Council tax letters
• HMRC letters

If overseas:

• Request explanation
• Obtain police certificates if required

Look for:

• Missing periods
• Different spellings
• Unusual changes

Scenario: A candidate has a missing period in their address history for 3 months, and their bank statement shows a different spelling of the street name. How would you verify and record their address history?
