The purpose of this document is to prove your current place of residence so your current postal address. Which means your address needs to appear on the document as well as the date of issuance of the document and your name. The place of residence should be verified on the basis of the provision of :
- a residence certificate issued in accordance with the candidate’s municipality normal registration rules, or;
- a certificate from the candidate’s place of work, study or training issued by the employer or institution in question.
Both documents must have been issued within 12 months before the submission deadline.

As residence certificate you can provide a utility bill for example or a letter written by your employer/university attesting your postal address. The document must fulfill the requirements written above (name, postal address, date). If you don’t have such a document you can ask your town office to provide you a certificate/letter of residence with all information written above.
