Statements printed in branch

If your bank or building society has printed a statement for you in branch, this can be accepted as proof of ID for pre-employment checks as long as it is dated within the last six months. Statements printed in branch should be stamped and dated by the bank, however if the printed statement clearly states it has been 'printed in branch' the bank stamp and date is not required
