Section 5 - Consent for The Home Office to Request Verification Checks
From the applicant :
I understand that you will check whether the information and supporting documentation that I
have supplied to the Home Office from a bank or utility company is correct. ‘Correct’ means that
documents are unaltered originals issued by the bank or utility company and that the information
on them is correct and applies to me or the person named as a customer on the document.
I agree to the bank or utility company, without seeking any further consent from me, telling you
whether the information or documentation I have supplied is correct or in what way (if any) it is
not correct.
I agree to the bank’s or utility company’s disclosure to the Home Office of any relevant personal
data they hold on me for the above purposes. If I have not supplied correct information or supporting documentation to the Home Office the bank or utility company may disclose my relevant
correct personal data.
If the information or supporting documentation also contains personal data relating to a joint customer or customers of mine on the bank or utility company account, or relates to another person
who is to provide financial support, I confirm that I have obtained the consent of those persons to
the disclosure of their personal data to the extent reasonably necessary for the above purposes.
I understand that the information obtained may be used as part of the decision making process
about my application and may, if necessary, be disclosed to a court.
[I understand that providing information or documentation that is not correct will normally result in
my application being refused and may lead to my prosecution for a criminal offence.]

If the account with the bank or utility company is in the joint names of the applicant and
other people, each of those others should sign the following declaration :
The above-named person (‘the applicant’) has given the Home Office documentation about
his or her accounts with banks or utility companies (a ‘company’) so that the Home Office can
check that is correct. I am a joint customer with the applicant on some or all of those accounts.
Information about the applicant may thus also reveal information about me.
I agree to the company giving the Home Office relevant personal data it holds about me in
relation to the account. This only covers data about me as joint customer with the applicant
(and not about any other accounts I hold in my sole name) and limited to what is necessary to
confirm that the documentation the applicant has supplied is correct. If that documentation is
not correct, the company may give the Home Office details of any inaccuracies / discrepancies
in the information that the applicant has provided, and may also disclose to the Home Office the
correct information that they have on record about the account.
I agree that this information may be used as part of the decision making process about the
application and may, if necessary, be disclosed to a court.

Section 6 - Declarations
F. Applicant Declaration
It is mandatory for you to sign below to show you have read and understood the following
declaration. If it is not complete the application will be invalid and returned to you. It must be
signed by you personally and not by a representative or other person acting on your behalf.
If you are under 18, your parent or legal guardian should sign on your behalf.
Declaration
I hereby apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK for myself. The information I have given in
this form is complete and is true to the best of my knowledge.
The photographs I have submitted with my application are a true likeness of me.
The documents I have submitted in support of my application are complete and correct to the best of
my knowledge and belief.
I agree to co-operate with Home Office officials, or any other person charged by the Secretary
of State for the Home Office with conducting pre-issue and post-issue checks in relation to this
application.
I accept that where I do not qualify for indefinite leave to remain but fall for a grant of limited leave,
my application will be treated as an application for limited leave and I may be asked to pay an
immigration health surcharge, under the Immigration (Health Charge) Order 2015. I accept that the
Secretary of State will treat this application as invalid, retain the application fee and not grant leave,
if a requirement to pay a surcharge is not met.
If there is a material change in my circumstances or any new information relevant to this application
becomes available before it is decided, I will inform the Home Office.
I am aware that the rules and requirements for applications may change in the future and that I
should not assume the current rules and requirements will continue to apply.
I agree to the Home Office using the data provided in this application in accordance with its
Information Charter.
Your information may be shared with the National Health Service (NHS) in England, but this is only
to help you access health services in the UK should you need to.
I accept that, in the event that I do not meet the requirements for indefinite leave, my application
may also be considered as an application for limited leave to remain and understand that the
Secretary of State will not grant a period of limited leave unless the requirement to pay an
immigration health charge under the Immigration (Health Charge) Order 2015 has been met.
I understand that my details may in certain circumstances be passed to fraud prevention agencies to
prevent and detect fraud and money laundering. I also understand that such agencies may provide
the Home Office with information about me. Further details explaining when information may be
passed to or from fraud prevention agencies and how that information may be used can be obtained
from the Home Office website.
I understand that if I am informing the Home Office that I have changed my gender, these details
may in certain circumstances be shared with other Home Office colleagues. I consent to this, where
necessary and understand that this information will only be shared in limited circumstances relating
to identity and security in line with Section 22 of the Gender Recognition Act. I am aware they will
otherwise be treated in confidence and that my rights under the Equality Act 2010, Data Protection
Act 1998 and Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights will be unaffected.
