Immigration reporting centres
You may need to attend appointments at an immigration reporting centre if you do not have permission to stay in the UK.
You must only go to a reporting centre if you have an appointment.
Getting an appointment
You’ll get a text message, email or letter when you have a new appointment.
What happens at your appointment
If possible, attend your appointment alone.
Arrive at your appointment time. You will not be able to enter the building if you arrive early.
Your identity will be checked during your appointment. You may also be asked to attend a short interview to discuss your current circumstances.
What you need to bring to your appointment
You need to bring:
- your immigration reporting paperwork, such as your Bail 201
- your mobile phone to show security your SMS message at the door
Only carry essential items when you go to your appointment - this will help avoid delays at security.
If you’re bringing a child under 18 to your appointment
You must be able to prove that either:
- you are the child’s parent
- you have got permission from the child’s parent to travel to the centre with the child
You can prove this with evidence such as:
- a copy of the child’s birth or adoption certificate - if you have a different surname, you’ll also need to bring a copy of a divorce or marriage certificate
- a letter from one of the child’s parents to say you have permission to travel with their child - it must include the parent’s contact details
Contacting your reporting centre
Contact the reporting centre by telephone or email if either:
- you’re unable to attend your appointment
- you need to update your details
Make sure any email includes your:
- name
- date of birth
- Home Office reference
- mobile phone number
If you were sent a text message by mistake
Email the Home Office and tell them your reference number (if you have one), name and phone number.
