In carrying out an assessment of a household's eligibility and need for social housing support, identification is an important part of that process. While a driver's licence or passport may be presented, if available, for identification purposes, any other suitable document that contains a photograph of the applicant or joint applicant is also acceptable. Birth certificates are normally required for each child in the household. In addition, every member of the household is required to have a unique PPS Number.
