Police Registration

Students only have to register with the police if that requirement is stamped in their passport.

If the UK Entry Clearance or Residence Permit ("visa") in your passport (or on your identity card) contains the statement: "The holder is also required to register at once with the police" or "Register with police within seven days", you should register within 7 days of your arrival.

If you are staying in the Greater London Authority, you should take your passport or travel document, any letters from the home office, a work permit (if applicable), and a £34 registration fee (paid by cash, cheque, or credit/debit card – no euros are accepted) to:

Overseas Visitors Records Office
Ground Floor
Brandon House
180 Borough High Street
London SE1 1LH

The nearest tube station is Borough (on the Northern line).
Hours: 9am - 4pm, Monday - Friday except Public and Bank Holidays.
Phone: +44 (0)20 7230 1208

If you are registering during the first weeks in October, we suggest that you arrive well before the opening hours as the queues can be very long.
