- Your children who are under 18 (if you do not have parental responsibility, you must document that you have a justified need for the confirmation)
- Anyone for whom you’ve been appointed guardian
- A client for whom you’re acting as counsel (as a lawyer)
If you need a residence confirmation for your spouse, grown-up children, parents or siblings, you must document that you have a justified need for the confirmation.
