Verification should be provided by applicants in relation to the following: |
| |
- in the case of an employed applicant, recent pay slips or a letter from the applicant's employer;
- in the case of a self-employed applicant, the most recent tax return and balance sheets;
- in the case of an applicant on a pension or benefit, a pension card or form from the Department of Social Security to indicate that the applicant has recently been approved for receipt of a benefit or pension;
- statements for accounts held with banks and/or any other financial institutions for the previous 3 months. However, in criminal matters the Commission will accept a current account balance print out from an ATM machine, but reserves the right to seek further information;
- documentation in relation to any investments held by the applicant; and
- documentation in relation to any other non-liquid assets where, in the opinion of the Commission, this is appropriate.

Where the assessable income and assets of an applicant include those of a financially associated person, verification of the income and assets of that person should also be provided. |
