Using an agent to update your details

You can get an agent to notify us of any changes. You will need to have a written agreement with the agent authorising them to change details on your behalf. The agent must declare the information is true, accurate and complete.

An agent acting for a deceased estate, or for someone who can no longer manage their affairs, needs to prove they are authorised to act on their behalf.
