Evidence of continuous residence
You바카라 사이트檒l need to provide evidence of how many years바카라 사이트� continuous residence you have in the UK. This usually decides whether you get settled or pre-settled status.
If you arrived in the UK by 31 December 2020
You can give your National Insurance number to allow an automated check of your residence based on tax and certain benefit records.
If this check shows you바카라 사이트檝e been here for 5 years in a row, you will not need to provide any documents as proof of residence. You바카라 사이트檒l only need to provide documents if you have been here for 5 years in a row but there is not enough data to confirm this.
The Home Office will tell you after you apply if you need to provide any documents. You should submit photos or scans of your documents through the online application form, rather than sending them by post.
If you arrived after 31 December 2020 or you바카라 사이트檙e asked for more evidence
Read what documents you can provide if you arrived after 31 December 2020, or you arrived before then but you바카라 사이트檙e asked to provide more evidence.
There is extra guidance if your continuous residence has been affected by COVID-19, including examples of the evidence you can provide.
Evidence of why you바카라 사이트檙e applying after 30 June 2021
If the 30 June 2021 deadline did not apply in your circumstances, you바카라 사이트檒l need evidence to show why. If it did apply, or you had a later deadline and did not meet it, you바카라 사이트檒l need to show your reasonable grounds for the delay in applying.
If the 30 June 2021 deadline did not apply
If you바카라 사이트檙e joining a family member from the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein, you바카라 사이트檒l need evidence of the first date you arrived in the UK after 31 December 2020. This can be, for example:

- transactions taking place inside the UK (in person, not online) after your arrival date
- a letter from a government department, public body or charity confirming a physical meeting - for example, with a job centre, or Citizens Advice
This is to show you바카라 사이트檙e applying within 90 days of the first date you arrived in the UK after 31 December 2020.

- explains the reason or reasons you could not apply
- covers the whole period since the deadline passed, as well as why you could not apply by the deadline
For example, evidence of the reasons for the delay in applying could be:

- court documents or a letter from an organisation supporting people who experience domestic violence, to show you were in an abusive or controlling relationship which stopped you from applying earlier
