Report a change of circumstances if you have a visa or BRP
You're in the UK and have a BRP
You must report any changes in your circumstances if you’re in the UK and have either:
- got a valid biometric residence permit (BRP)
- applied for a BRP but have not had a decision yet
How you do this depends on whether you have an eVisa or not.
If you have an eVisa
Sign in to your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to update any of these details online:
- name, for example if you’ve got married
- address or phone number
- nationality
- facial appearance
- date of birth, for example if it was wrong
- gender
If you do not have an eVisa
You can no longer apply for a new BRP. You need to set up access to your eVisa.
An eVisa is an online record of your immigration status. You can use it to prove your status, instead of using your BRP.
You can then sign in to your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account to update your details online.
If you cannot access your eVisa and update your UKVI account
Contact UK Visas and Immigration to get help with your UKVI account or guidance about how to access your eVisa.
You can still update your address if you do not have an eVisa yet, either:
- report a change of address online
- fill in the change of circumstances form and send it to the address on the form
Changes you cannot report in your UKVI account
You must report any other changes to the details you gave in your BRP application, including if:
- you get a criminal conviction
- you separate from your partner
- any of your children stop living permanently with you
Fill in the change of circumstances form and send it to the address on the form.
