Register as an overseas visitor (OVRO)
As of 4 August 2022, foreign nationals are no longer required to register with the police as an overseas visitor.
- If you are already registered with the police and were asked to register again to enter or remain in the UK, you will now not need to do so.
- You don’t need to notify the police of any changes to your circumstances.
- If you have been issued with a visa with the requirement to register, but are yet to travel to the UK, you will either be reissued with a new visa or notified in advance of your travel.
- There is no need to attend, or pay for, any existing appointments.
- If you are already in the UK, there is no need to keep your police registration certificate.
