Enforce acceptance of digital documents statements as proof of address.
Everybody wants to go green and paperless, but when one tries to provide proof of address only hard copies are accepted. It's the information provided which counts (name, account ID and such) not the support on which is delivered. Providing the information on paper doesn't guarantee more security.
The benefits of doing this are environment friendly and it helps reducing useless costs, delays and frictions.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. In particular, we're not sure the circumstance in which proof of address is required you're concerned about, and we're not sure exactly what you mean by "digital documents statements".
We can only accept petitions which call for a clear action that is the responsiblity of the UK Government or Parliament. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, for example calling for all government departments and agencies to accept digital documents as proof of address, if that's what you'd like to happen.
