If the account with the bank or utility company relates to another person who is to provide the applicant with financial support, that person* should sign the following declaration : I am a friend or relative whom the above-named person (the applicant) has stated will provide financial support. The Home Office is verifying this by checking the documentation which the applicant has supplied about my accounts with banks or utility companies (a company). The company may thus reveal information about me to the Home Office or to the applicant. I agree to the company giving the Home Office relevant personal data it holds about me in relation to my account. This is limited to what is necessary to confirm that the documentation the applicant has supplied is correct. If that documentation is not correct, the company may give the Home Office details of any inaccuracies / discrepancies in the information that the applicant has provided, and may also disclose to the Home Office the correct information that they have on record about the account. I understand that this may involve the applicant obtaining further details about the account. I agree that this information may be used as part of the decision making process about the application and may, if necessary, be disclosed to a court.

I hereby apply for indefinite leave to remain in the UK for myself and any dependants listed in this form. The information I have given in this form is complete and is true to the best of my knowledge. I confirm that the photographs submitted with this form are a true likeness of myself and any dependants who are applying with me, as named on the back of each photograph and that Ihave had the opportunity to see the UK Visas and Immigrationphotograph guidance. I confirm that if, before this application is decided, there is a material change in my circumstances or new information relevant to this application becomes available, I will inform the Home Office. I understand that all information provided by me to the Home Office will be treated in confidence; that it may be disclosed to other government departments, agencies, local authorities, the police, foreign governments and other bodies for immigration purposes or to enable them to perform their functions; and that, if such bodies provide the Home Office with any information about me which may be relevant for immigration purposes, it may be used in reaching a decision on my application. I understand that my details may in certain circumstances be passed to fraud prevention agencies to prevent and detect fraud and money laundering. I also understand that such agencies may provide the Home Office with information about me. Further details explaining when information may be passed to or from fraud prevention agencies and how that information may be used can be obtained from the Home Office website. I understand that documents provided in support of this application will be checked for authenticity; and that false documents will be retained and may result in my application being refused and in my prosecution and subsequent removal from the United Kingdom. I understand that the Home Office may also use the information provided by me for training purposes. I am aware that it is an offence under the Immigration Act 1971, as amended by the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, to make to a person acting in execution of any of those Acts a statement or representation which I know to be false or do not believe to be true, or to obtain or to seek to obtain leave to remain in the United Kingdom by means which include deception.
