- Official letter addressed to you at your address such as a bank statement, recent utility or Council Tax bill.
If you have changed your name, please supply the relevant documents as evidence of this.
If you are acting on behalf of someone
If you are acting on behalf of someone you will need to provide evidence of your identity as well as that of the ‘data subject’, along with proof of your right to act on their behalf, by way of a signed letter from the data subject, or confirmation of power of attorney, etc. If you are a parent, foster parent or carer, acting on behalf of a child under 12 years of age you will need to provide proof of parental responsibility. Children 12 and over are effectively treated as adults by data protection legislation.
