All income documentation must: 

• show your name and company name;

• be recent, usually from within the last 30 days;

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

• be your personal income.  

If you don’t have the documents we’ve requested, you may be able to submit another form of documentation that demonstrates and confirms your reported income. Find your income type below to see what document we’ll accept to verify your source of income. We require different documentation depending on your employment status.
