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.
