UK and Republic of Ireland students
Students who upload one of the following documents do not need to attend a registration event:
- A clear colour photograph of both pages of a UK/Republic of Ireland Passport or
- Long version of UK birth or adoption certificate issued in the UK/Channel Islands/Isle of Man or Ireland and an official document showing your permanent National Insurance number and your name issued by a Government agency or previous employer (eg P60 or P45) or
- Certificate of registration or naturalisation as a British citizen and an official document showing your permanent National Insurance number and your name issued by a Government agency or previous employer (eg P60 or P45).
Students must upload their documents within three weeks of the course start date. For example, a student with a course start date of 1 December would need to upload their evidence by 22 December.
Failure to upload your evidence before the deadline given above could result in you being withdrawn from your course.
Examples of accepted documents
Please see below for examples of accepted documents.
Passports must show your:
- passport number
- full name
- date of birth
- nationality
- country of birth
- the 'official observations' page.
Birth certificates must show the birthplace of both your parents.
If the name on your document does not match the name on your student record, we will need to see some evidence that explains the name change, for example; a marriage certificate, decree of divorce or deed poll document.
If you only have an expired UK/Republic of Ireland passport, then please contact right-to-study
