What can I use to prove my address as a digital nomad without a utility bill or rental agreement?

Dear digital nomads,

If you've been asked for a utility bill/rental agreement/drivers license to prove your address, but you don't have that, what did you do?

(I've already sent my bank statements with my UK address, but my parents pay the bills and own the flat, so that's why I don't have those things)

Thanks so much ✨

Ps I'm a UK citizen applying in London

PPS my friend sent his mortgage from the bank, if that helps someone, but I don't have a mortgage

TLDR : Answer Summary
The inquiry revolves around proving one's address for visa applications when traditional documents like utility bills or rental agreements are unavailable. The individual seeking help, a UK citizen applying from London, has provided bank statements showing their UK address but lacks other required documentation. In the comments, several suggestions are made, including having parents write a rental agreement, using mobile phone bills, bank letters, credit card statements, or any official correspondence containing their name and address as alternatives.

I showed a letter from my bank where they had sent me a new debit card 😃 Don't think it really matters what type of document it is, as long as it says your full name and your address it should be fine.

Is it to prove address or to prove you are physically in the UK? I don’t think they care to “prove your address”. If the latter, buy a local newspaper, take a photo with it and the date on the cover

You must have something at your address, your gp, NHS letter, driving licence or provisional licence, letter from hmrc, annual tax return etc all these would have your name and address?

Have your parents write you a rental agreement. It's pretty easy to do.
