Proof of identity and authority
Protecting your personal information is extremely important to the Council, so before your request for personal information can be processed, the Council must verify your identity. Suitable proof includes driving licence, birth certificate, passport or similar document. This must be an original; a photocopy is not acceptable. If you are asking for information about someone else you must provide written evidence that you have the authority to act on behalf of that person. This must be the original evidence; a photocopy is not acceptable. All documents will be returned to you as quickly as possible.
Fee
A £10.00 fee will be required, so you will receive a copy of your desired information within 40 calendar days following receipt of payment.
