Understand this route
A short check of documents, deadlines and next actions when you want to make sure nothing important is missed.
What to do first
Read the practical route on this page before you contact an authority. Keep the documents and notices that relate to your situation available so that you can check names, dates and any existing reference number against the official process.
Use the official route
The authority, filing method, documents, fees and timing shown on this page are separated so that a requirement that applies only in some situations is not mistaken for a universal requirement. If the official service directs you to a local office or lookup, use that official lookup rather than guessing the competent office.
If something is unclear
Do not rely on an assumption about your status or document. Check the official source below and use the related route where your next action concerns work, family, healthcare or another part of daily life.
