• a full (complete and continuous) 5 year address history which includes any non UK addresses 

• full name history – forenames, middle names and surnames – including the dates of any changes 

• that you set aside sufficient time available to complete the form (between 15 – 30 minutes)

• the time taken to complete a form will vary depending upon your number of addresses over the last five years, name changes since birth etc 

• the form can be saved at the end of each page and returned to at a later date 

You will not be able to return to the form once it has been submitted
