Discretion is vital. You should not discuss your application, other than with your partner or a close family member.
You should only launch your application from within the UK. Applying from outside of the UK will impact on our ability to progress your application.
Security best practice
Before you apply, we advise you to consider setting up a separate email address for your contact with us, to ensure your personal and application correspondence remain separate. Try to avoid having identifying features in your email address, such as your first and/or surname and date of birth. This is good practice and will help you to manage your application with us more discretely.
