Submit new evidence to support your asylum claim

You can submit new evidence if your asylum claim has been refused or withdrawn and you have no more right to appeal. This is called a ‘further submission’.

Your new evidence

The new evidence must be something that you did not have until now. Your application may be rejected if you submit evidence you’ve sent before.

You can be prosecuted and forced to leave the UK if you give false evidence.

You can only submit new evidence if you’ve been through every available appeal process.

You must not have another claim or appeal outstanding with the Home Office or court.

You cannot submit new evidence from outside the UK.

Submit your evidence

You must submit your evidence in person at a Service and Support Centre, unless you have permission to send it by post.

Further submissions can only be made in person in:

  • Liverpool
  • Belfast
  • Cardiff
  • Glasgow

  • driving licence (if you’ve already submitted a photo of yourself)

You may be held in detention or forced to leave the UK if your further submissions are refused.

Email or send a letter to the FSU to ask for permission to submit evidence by post.

You’ll only get permission if you’re:
