What documentation will verify my income?

All documentation must: 

  • have your name and the company name listed

  • be recent - normally within the last 30 days

  • be clear and complete (make sure we can see all 4 corners and can read everything) 

  • be your personal income  

If you don’t have the documents we’ve asked for, you may be able to submit something else as long as it demonstrates and confirms your reported income.
