You will need to check if there is a time limit when providing evidence for some domains.

For Domains 1, 3 and 4, there is no limit on the age of the evidence you provide.

For Domains 2, 5 and 6, your evidence needs to be dated later than the dates set out below unless you have been working less than full time or have taken a career break.

Domains and accepted time periods

Domain 2
Time period 3 working years
Date you can count evidence from November 2020 onwards, if you have been working full-time with no career breaks
Domain 5
Time period 5 working years
Date you can count evidence from November 2018 onwards, if you have been working full-time with no career breaks
Domain 6
Time period 3 working years
Date you can count evidence from November 2020 onwards, if you have been working full-time with no career breaks

If you wish to rely on evidence that falls outside of the timescales above because you have been working less than full-time or have taken a career break since November 2018, then you must upload a summary of your employment history to the Self-Assessment Verification Portal.
