Advice from VISA Team
Police Registration
If you are required to register with the
police as a condition of your leave,
this will be confirmed on the 30-day
vignette or UKVI decision letter issued
to you to allow you to travel to the UK.
You will need to present your 30-day
vignette when you register with the
police. If you are required to register
you must do so within 7 days of your
arrival in the UK. For information on
registering:

overview.
If you have been granted immigration
permission that is more than six months
long, you may be required to register
with the police to confirm information
about your address in the UK and the
course you are studying.
If you are a new arrival to the UK and
required to register with the Police, this
will be stated on your visa or your visa
decision letter.
If you have an existing Police
Registration Certificate but have
recently moved address or changed
course, you must also see the Police to
update your certificate.

my appointment?

Residence Permit (BRP) card
