Query regarding permanent address change

[pktamil2007]

Hi All,

Recently my permanent address has changed.Before applying for EC is it required that we have to get the address change done? Do they do some verification for permanent address?

The UK is not (yet) a country where one is required to register one's residential address with the authorities when one moves like most countries in continental Europe.

In reality the only verification the Home Office can do on an address is to see if the address actually exists, but it is impossible for them to verify if someone actually lives there.

Although, if appropriate, you do need to go on the electoral roll.
