We'll accept a:

  • birth certificate - we can accept either version, we'll contact you if we need a long version
  • passport
  • driving licence or provisional licence - we only need the photo card
  • Biometric Residence Card - we can accept this if you cannot provide the requested photo ID documents
  • National Identity Card for non UK nationals - this can be provided instead of a passport or photo card driving licence

If you've got a duplicate birth certificate from the Registrar Office, this will be classed as an original document

We cannot accept expired ID.

In the first year you apply for NHS funding, you may be requested to provide your birth certificate and either a passport or driving licence. If you have a non-UK birth certificate, we must see your passport rather than the driving licence to confirm your nationality for eligibility purposes.

Failure to provide any of the relevant evidence will result in the assessment of your application being delayed.
