The type of evidence we may ask for includes:

• an eviction notice
• proof of medical conditions
• a GP’s letter that proves you are pregnant
• your five-year address history if you have been in the UK
• contact details for the person who wants you to leave your current property

If you can't find all the evidence we ask for, please continue with your application. You can also upload additional evidence after your form has been sent to us.
