Details

If you hold a DV, SC, Level 1B or CTC security clearance you should inform UKSV if you acquire a new nationality or renounce a nationality that you previously held.

UKSV has introduced a new process to allow a Change of Personal Circumstances (CPC) to be submitted via the NSVS portal. Clearance holders are asked to use the CPC portal service if at all possible.

You no longer need to download and email a copy of the Change of Personal Circumstances: change of nationality form to UKSV, unless your organisation has specific agreement with UKSV that a manual form is required.

A copy of the form is retained on this page for use only in those exceptional circumstances.

All holders of a valid clearance can access the CPC portal service via NSVS.

https://nsv.mod.uk/

Please follow the new process via the CPC portal wherever possible.

However, should you still need to submit a Change of Personal Circumstances: change of nationality form manually and your organisation has prior agreement with UKSV, open the attached PDF document on this page and enter your details. Save a copy of the completed form to your desktop, then email the completed form as an attachment to uksv-cpcs@cabinetoffice.gov.uk.

Please note that from 1st December 2022 the old UKSV-CPC-Grp@mod.gov.uk CPC mailbox has permanently closed.

If you are sending any information that directly relates to National Security or is protected information please do ensure that you reclassify this document as Official Sensitive and protect it accordingly. In these instances we would advise you to send the information via secure email rather than over the open internet.
