IMPORTANT NOTICE
The purpose of the certificate of residence is to prove your current place of residence, i.e your current postal address. Therefore, your name and your own address need to appear on the document as well as the date of issuance of the document.
That is why we need a either one of the document described below:
• Residence certificate issued in accordance with the candidate’s municipality normal registration rules.
• Certificate from the candidate’s current place of work, study or training issued by the employer or institution in question.
The document must have been issued by an official institution within 12 months before the application deadline.
We will not accept a “work certificate” from the company you are working in. We want to have your current personal postal address and not your working address. We will not accept your birth certificate either, your passport or even your driving licence.
