Report a change of circumstances if you have a visa or BRP
You're in the UK and have a visa
You must report any changes if you’re in the UK and have either:
- got a visa
- applied for a visa but haven’t had a decision yet
How you do this depends on what you’re reporting.
Changes to your name or personal details
You must replace your visa with an eVisa if your overall stay in the UK is longer than 6 months and any of these details on your visa document change:
- name
- nationality
- facial appearance
- date of birth
- gender
You’ll need to pay a fee.
You do not need to report these changes or transfer your visa if your stay in the UK is less than 6 months.
Fill in a change of circumstances form if you’ve applied for a visa but haven’t had a decision.
Report all other changes
Fill in the change of circumstances form to report any other changes of circumstances including:
- your contact details
- your legal representative’s details
- dependent family members’ details
- if you separate from your partner
- if you get a criminal conviction
- if any of your children stop living with you
Report a change of address only
You can update your address or your legal representative’s address online.
