If you’re a resident of Battle Civil Parish, and a British, Irish, Commonwealth or European Union citizen, and receive a pension from another country, we can provide a stamp on your ‘Proof of life’ form to confirm your residency in the UK. Currently, there is no fee for this service.

You’ll need to contact Battle Town Council to make an appointment by emailing enquiries@battletowncouncil.gov.uk or calling 01424 772210.
