Can I remove my register entry or change it during the one-year notification period?
You must write to tell us about any changes as soon as possible and within 28 days of the change. Failure to keep a register entry up to date is a criminal offence.
You must tell us about any changes in writing, quoting your security number. The security number is provided on the letter confirming you have been accepted onto the register. It is not possible to request a change by phone. It is also not possible to change the legal entity of a data controller and you must notify again.
We will write to you when we have made the change and will send you a copy of your amended entry. Changes can be made free of charge at any time. If you have cancelled your entry and have paid by direct debit, you will need to cancel your direct debit instruction yourself.
