Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Homes for Ukraine scheme, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of adding (a) birth certificates and (b) other forms of identification to the list of acceptable documents for the purposes of proof of identity for sponsors.

Sponsors are subject to identification checks and we have published the list of acceptable documents at: www.gov.uk/guidance/homes-for-ukraine-sponsor-guidance. These documents require a photo identification for the purposes of identity and security checks.
