Address change update

[m.sheikh]

Hi all,

I am on tier1 general and have a BRP, I have recently moved and want to inform UKBA my new address.

I have found the online form for the address update at the link below but to me it looks like as if its only for the people whose applications are currently with UKBA.

https://contact-ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... y-details/

Do I need to fill in the same form? or is there a different way of informing them?

Regards
Rocky

That's only used when you have an application under consideration and want to ensure the paperwork goes to the right location. The UKBA don't track the addresses of migrants and you don't have to inform them when you move.

This is the right form... I used it last year while moving home.
UKBA also sent an acknowledgement letter that the address has been updated in their record.
