Clarifying Document Requirements: Understanding 'Proof of Community of Life' and Utility Bill Submission

12/12/2024

Flow Chart of Documentation Requirements for Proof of Cohabitation

Original Question posted on 12/12/2024


I have just received this by email. I need to provide this additional document. I can understand the electricity or gas bill. But is the "Proof of Community of Life" another separate document? Are these 2 documents I need to attach? Or does it mean I just have to somehow sign the electricity bill?

This is not a dumb question at all. Let me clarify the requirements:


You need to provide two types of documentation:


1. A declaration of a community of life (also called a certificate of common life or cohabitation)

  • This is a separate official document that proves you and your spouse live together[2]

  • It needs to be signed by both you and your spouse[2]

  • You can obtain this from your local city hall/mayor's office[2]


2. Utility bills or other proof covering May 2024 through November 2024

  • Can include electricity, gas, water, telephone bills, bank letters, or administrative documents[1]

  • Should show both names at the same address, or two individual documents showing the same address[2]


The declaration of a community of life is meant to formally establish your cohabitation status, while the utility bills serve as supporting evidence of your shared residence over the specified time period[2].


Important Notes:

  • The declaration document is typically free[2]

  • Some city halls may require both partners to be present when requesting the declaration[2]

  • Mobile phone bills alone are typically not accepted as sufficient proof[3]

  • You may need to provide identity documents (ID cards, passports) when requesting the declaration[2]
