A bank statement and balance confirmation letter are required for visa applications, study applications and proof of financial means. They show whether the application meets the financial resources requirement.
Amounts, dates and currency are preserved as they appear in the source document; no currency conversion is performed. The bank's stamp and signature details are also reproduced; institutions use them to verify the document's authenticity.
Which institutions request this document?

Certification requirements
Notarization may be required for visa and official applications.
For an apostille on a bank-certified document, notarization is generally required first.
There is no universal rule. The institution requesting the document determines its certification requirements. The information above describes common practice. Tell us which institution you are applying to and we will help clarify the required certification.
Preparing your document
- Obtain a stamped and signed statement from the bank; an online banking printout may not be accepted
- Ask the institution how many months of statements are required
- Ask whether a separate balance confirmation letter is required
- Obtain the document close to the application date
Frequently asked questions
