Use of electronic payslips in applications
Dear Home Office,
I would like to request information which I have not been able to find on your website not from any other source online.
There are two parts to this request:
1) Please provide the exact location of guidance which states that payslips/banks statements/utility bills etc must/should be either original documents (printed and posted by the service provider/employer) or that electronic versions of these documents must be stamped/signed for applications such as EEA(QP), EEA(PR), AN, ILR etc. I would like to find the exact document that states this if it exists.
2) Please advise the number of applications for EEA(PR) which were rejected in the year 2016 due to the provision of electronic documents from employers/banks/service providers if this information exists.
Should the information not exist I would like to know why, then, the Home Office can reject applications on the basis of the above.
Yours faithfully,
John Kelly

The response links to guidance notes on the page "Apply for a document certifying permanent residence or permanent residence card: form EEA (PR)".
However, none of the documents listed there suggest that payslips must be signed or stamped or verified in any way.
I believe that the Home Office completely dodged this question.
