Proof of life – overseas pension forms

If you receive a pension from another country, the Town Council provide a service to verify your identity by signing and stamping your proof of life form. The fee for this service is £10 per form. Please make an appointment via townclerk@eastgrinstead.gov.uk or phone 01342 323636 to ensure that there is a member of staff available in the office who is authorised to stamp and sign the form for you.

Each person named on the proof of life form will need to attend in person and bring the following:

• The proof of life form – the form you require the Town Council to sign and stamp.
• Photo ID – a valid passport, driver’s licence, bus pass, or other photo ID.

You will also need to bring proof of your own address (the address of the person whose proof of life form is being authorised), using one of the following documents:

• A utility bill dated within the last three months.
• A bank or building society statement dated within the last month.
• A council tax bill dated within the last 12 months.

If you have any additional queries regarding this service, please contact us.
