I have recently had to prove my address. Not easy, several documents and they had to be originals. The documents included a passport, a drivers licence and a recent utility bill or Community Charge bill. Good luck with that.Hello, does anyone know how to get proof of adress when living aboard in a marina that doesnt officially takes in liveaboards?

If I was in your situation I would put the case that your mooring receipt is proof of your address and a utility bill.You ask me? I ask YOU! I dont know if that would work. ?
The thing is; I dont pay utility bills or anything. All I ever pay is the mooring. I do get a receipt each month, and I am certain I could ask them to print it, but I dont know valid that would be.
I get my post and parcels delivered to the office no probs. Its not fkr that. I need the official proof of adress for various other things. Its purely bureaucratic.
Happy christmas

The request for proof of address had a very specific list of documents that they would accept and those had to be official or utilities. Both I and Dangerous Pirate are in the UK and I suspect that the list of acceptable documents will be the same.ps - Just realized you are in the UK so my advice is not relevant. Assume banks and HMRC must send you some mail. Does your marina bill you
The following gives examples of what the government will accept;

The key point in the OP is that the marina doesn't officially allow liveaboards
+1. A marina which doesn't allow liveaboards will want your "home" address (in most of our cases, that of the friend or relative who our tax demands are sent to) that's what will appear on the receipts they give you.
There's no requirement for proof of address when registering for a g.p. but practice managers may not be interested in listening to you present a case for that and refer you to a walk-in facility for the homeless elsewhere. When faced with petty officialdom I wouldn't regard the judicious employment of photoshop or it's open source cousin gimp to produce your own proof of address as an act of moral turpitude. Don't try this for situations where proof of address is legally required and don't fake official documents obviously.
And whose address do you suggest is used when you decide to falcify documents? The local post office, or some random stranger's?!
