Registration and reporting
Registration with the police
Aliens who are over 16 and who are ‘relevant foreign nationals’ normally will be required to register with the local police where they are admitted for purposes of employment for longer than six months, or for longer than six months as an au pair, a student, a business person or self-employed, an investor or person of independent means or a creative artist or the spouse or child of such a person. A ‘relevant foreign national’ includes the citizens of countries listed in Annex 2 to the Immigration Rules, stateless persons and those holding non-national travel documents. This requirement may also be imposed on any other foreign national aged 16 or over who has been given limited leave to remain, where exceptionally it is thought necessary to ensure compliance with the conditions imposed on the leave. The police have to be informed of the individual’s name, date of birth, nationality, marital status, address, occupation and immigration status. They must be informed of any future changes. This requirement will only be lifted if the individual is later allowed to stay permanently.
Reporting conditions
As of 4 February 2005, under new immigration rules 325-326, any foreign nationals from countries or territories listed in Appendix 2 to the Immigration Rules need to report, as do the stateless and those holding non-national travel documents, where they are given limited leave to enter the United Kingdom for longer than six months or given limited leave which takes them over 6 months from arrival.
Exempt from this requirement are seasonal agricultural workers, private servants in diplomatic households, ministers of religion, missionary or member of a religious order, persons whose leave flows from marriage to a person settled in the United Kingdom or unmarried partnership with a person settled here, persons exercising access rights to a child resident in the United Kingdom, parents of children at school, and those given leave following the grant of asylum.
