Other changes in circumstances

How to report a change of circumstances

You should update your UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account if you’ve changed your:

• mobile phone number
• email address
• name
• identity document, such as your passport or national identity card
• home address
• postal address

You can also:

• correct your date of birth
• add an extra nationality - if you have dual nationality, for example
• add an extra identity document
• change your photo, for example if your appearance has changed and you can no longer be recognised from your photo
• give someone else access to your visa applications, if you’d like them to help you apply
• give someone else ownership of the UKVI account, if you set up the account on their behalf

UKCISA (The UK Council for International Student Affairs) has produced a table listing the various changes of circumstances that you need to notify UKVI about, and which form you need to use to do this. Click on the title 'Reporting changes of circumstances' on the link.  

You may also be required to notify the UKVI of relevant changes to your studies. We have a separate webpage that explains this.
