Replacement Payslips - Fast Online Service

Need a replacement payslip? Whether you’ve lost an original, need proof of income for a mortgage or rental application, or never received a copy, this guide covers all your options.

Why people need replacement payslips

• Mortgage or remortgage applications — most lenders ask for 3–6 months of payslips to verify current income
• Rental applications — landlords and letting agents use payslips to check affordability
• Visa and immigration applications — as proof of UK earnings
• Universal Credit or benefit claims — some benefits require recent payslip evidence
• Employment disputes — payslips are evidence of agreed pay and deductions

How to get a replacement payslip from your employer

Your employer is the first port of call. Contact your payroll or HR department and ask for a duplicate payslip for the period you need. Many employers now issue payslips digitally via payroll portals — check there first as copies are often available to download instantly.

If your employer can’t help or you’ve left that job, you have further options.
