Where to ask for financial assistance in Iceland

Prepare last year’s tax return and assessment, withholding records, two months of pay or benefit statements, bank balances and relevant partner records. Provide residence documents where applicable. Unemployed applicants need employment-service registration and evidence of normally at least one job application weekly; inability to work requires medical evidence. Submit requested documents within two weeks of applying to avoid dismissal. A signed paper form or formally authorised representative is also allowed under the municipal rules.
