Tell HMRC when you change your address

Use this service to update your address for:

  • Income Tax
  • National Insurance
  • State Pension
  • tax credits and Child Benefit

There’s a different way to update your details for business tax.

You need to wait until you’ve moved before telling HMRC about your new address.

This guide is also available in Welsh (Cymraeg).

Before you start

To update your address, you’ll need to sign in to your personal tax account using your Government Gateway user ID and password.

If you do not have a personal tax account

You need a Government Gateway user ID and password to set up a personal tax account. If you do not already have a user ID you can create one when you sign in for the first time.

You’ll need your National Insurance number or postcode and 2 of the following:

  • a valid UK passport
  • a UK photocard driving licence issued by the DVLA (or DVA in Northern Ireland)
  • a payslip from the last 3 months or a P60 from your employer for the last tax year
  • details of a tax credit claim if you made one
  • details from a Self Assessment tax return (in the last 2 years) if you made one
  • information held on your credit record if you have one (such as loans, credit cards or mortgages)

You can also use your personal tax account to check your HMRC records and manage your other details.
