Your local council will usually ask for proof of identity when you apply for Council Tax Reduction, but the exact requirements vary between councils. They may accept documents such as a passport, driving licence, birth certificate or immigration document, and could also request proof of identity for other household members. If you do not have photo ID, contact the council’s benefits team, as alternative documents or checks may be available. Check your council’s application guidance or its official website for the current list of accepted evidence.
