A document verifying an individual’s work status as independent, rather than employed by a company, is often required for various official purposes. This confirmation may detail the nature of the work, duration of self-employment, and sometimes income details. For example, it might be drafted by an accountant or the individual themselves and used for loan applications, visa applications, or obtaining government benefits.
Such verification provides crucial evidence of income and work history when traditional employment records are unavailable. This documentation can be instrumental in accessing financial services, securing housing, or demonstrating eligibility for certain programs. Historically, reliance on these confirmations has increased with the rise of the gig economy and non-traditional employment arrangements.
