Nigeria — Proof of Address Rejected
Upload an electricity, water, or telecom bill in your name, issued in the last 3 months.
How to fix
Proof of address is a document showing your name and your current address (street, town, state), dated within the last 3 months.
Documents that work:
- ✅ Electricity bill — from your distribution company, with your name and address
- ✅ Water bill — same requirements
- ✅ Bank statement — exported PDF from your banking app, last 3 months, address printed
- ✅ Tenancy agreement — signed, your name, current address, recent date
Documents that don’t work:
- ❌ NIN barcode card, voter card, passport, driver’s licence — these don’t show your home address
- ❌ Bank app screenshot — export the PDF instead
Watch out for
- Your name on the bill — not your landlord’s, parent’s, or employer’s. Bills in someone else’s name fail even if the address is yours.
- Date within last 3 months — a bill from 6 or 8 months ago is rejected. Use your most recent monthly statement.
- Full address visible — street, town, state. State-only or town-only addresses are rejected.
