Digital reporting

Digital reporting is a reporting condition that requires you to report to the Home Office using a mobile phone or other device.

You may be required to use digital reporting:

If you’re on immigration bail, digital reporting may be one of several conditions you must follow.

You may also have other conditions, such as attending face-to-face reporting events or restrictions on working or studying.

You must follow all the conditions you have been given.

Digital reporting does not change your immigration status or mean that you have been given permission to stay in the UK.

Each time you need to report, we’ll send you a digital reporting message.

You’ll receive these messages regularly. How often you receive them will depend on your reporting condition. Most people receive messages every 2 weeks or every month. Each message will tell you when you need to respond.

How you will receive digital reporting messages

You’ll receive your digital reporting messages:

You can receive your digital reporting messages through the UK Immigration Engagement and Compliance (UK IEC) app.

You can download the app from the Apple or Google app stores.

When you receive a digital reporting message in the app, a notification will appear on your device. Open the notification and follow the instructions.

Once you start using the app, you’ll no longer receive digital reporting messages by text message. If we have your email address, you’ll continue to receive them by email.

You can respond to your digital reporting message using the app or through the link in your email.

Make sure notifications for the UK IEC app are turned on in your device settings.

How to respond to a digital reporting message

You’ll need a device with internet access and a web browser to respond to a digital reporting message.
