Details

If you hold a DV, SC or CTC security clearance and there is a significant change in your financial circumstances, you should inform UKSV of this change. 

A significant change in your financial circumstances could include:

  • Bankruptcy;
  • Receiving a large inheritance;
  • Suffering substantial financial impact due to divorce;
  • The dissolution of a civil partnership.

UKSV requires Change of Personal Circumstances (CPC) forms to be submitted via the NSVS portal.

In exceptional circumstances, please contact our UKSV Helpdesk for support completing the Change of Personal Circumstances (CPC) form manually.

How to contact UKSV

Once we authorise this request for the CPC form, you will then receive an email from UKSV which provides the form for completion, along with a secure link to a file-sharing service called Egress. This is used to ensure that any information shared either by you or with you is done so in a secure and safe manner. Instructions on how to upload and download information to and from Egress will be provided along with the link.
