Before you start

To update your address, you’ll need to sign in to your personal tax account.

If you do not have a personal tax account

You can create a personal tax account when you sign in for the first time.

You’ll be told when you sign in if you need to prove your identity. This is to keep your details safe and usually involves using photo ID like a passport or driving licence.

You can also use your personal tax account to check your HMRC records and manage your other details.
