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@york.ac.uk.
