Kenya: proof of address that actually gets approved

Upload your KRA tax certificate — the e-Return Acknowledgment you download as a PDF from itax.kra.go.ke with your KRA PIN.

What passes

Sign in to itax.kra.go.ke with your KRA PIN and download the e-Return Acknowledgment as a PDF. Most Kenyans already hold a KRA PIN, it’s free, and it needs no bill or account in your name.

Keep it recent. Within about 3 months is a safe guide, though not a hard cutoff. The certificate carries its own filing date and counts as current.

What gets rejected

• An M-Pesa statement — mobile-money records don’t pass here.
• Your passport in the address slot — an ID with no printed address proves nothing about where you live.
• Any document in someone else’s name, or an address that doesn’t match your sign-up form.
• A screenshot of an app screen instead of a downloaded PDF or a clear photo of the document.
