How to get two names on bills?

Go to solution

Hi all,

For a universal credit application, I need to get a utility bill with both my name and my wife's name.

How do I edit / alter my account to enable this?

Is it something as simple as changing my first name to "[mine] & [wife's]" or is there a better way?

I have added my wife as an account admin, and have tried to navigate the maze of help topics/account admin without success so far.

Thanks for any help!

The bill can only have the account holder`s name shown on it.

I think that may be the case for other utilities.

You may be able to provide two separate utility bills with different names, if your wife has a utility in her name only, provided the address is the same. This would of course, not apply to BT.

You would have to check that with the DWP.

The cynic might say that this is the DWP being "difficult by design"
