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.

Travelling to your appointment

If you’re travelling to your appointment on public transport, follow the guidance about travelling safely.

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.
