Keeping your register entry up to date

Once you have notified, you must keep your register entry up to date.

When any part of your entry becomes inaccurate or incomplete, you must inform us. This action must be taken as soon as practicable and in any event within 28 days of the date on which your entry became inaccurate or incomplete. Failure to do so is a criminal offence.

Changes must be notified to us in writing (including fax or email), quoting your security number. It is not possible to request a change by telephone. Two types of change forms are available: one is for adding an additional purpose to your notification and the other for making any other amendment to your notification.

We will write to you when your change has been actioned and will send you a copy of your amended entry. Changes can be made free of charge at any time.  However, if there is a change in the legal entity of the data controller, a new entry must be made in the register.
