did you have to bring something to prove yo ur address?
Hi Jackie,
No I didn't need any proof of address, just the ID I registered with (my biometric permit in my case).
It was very fast and smooth, they looked at my bio permit when I walked in, then had me turn off my phone and put everything else in a locker right away (but I had to hold on to my permit throughout). They then sent me to a room where they checked my permit again and took my photo and asked a few questions (what sort of visa I'm applying for, my birthday, etc), then sent me to the room where they do the computer testing- where they also checked my ID.
I didn't even have to show my email confirmation (which I had at the ready). They had a roster at the ready that they just ticked my name off of.
I just read through my confirmation emails again and see nothing about proof of address.
Admittedly I brought my passport just incase, so if you are worried, bring a proof of address along. Worse comes to worse it will just stay in your bag which goes in a locked locker.
Hope that helps!
ADDITION-
Out of curiosity I just had a look in my textbook and you're right, it does say you need proof of address!
I solely went off of the emails I was sent when my test was confirmed, and then you'll get another email a day or two before to remind you of your test. In the email there is a massive heading that says "What you must bring to your test" and the ONLY thing it says is "the photo ID you registered with" and then it tells me what ID I used.
I totally understand your confusion now. All I can say is that I did not bring a proof of address, and I was not asked for one.
I hope someone else who has recently taken the test can chime in and tell you their experience.
