International students Police registration

End of Police Registration Scheme

As of 5 August 2022, the Home Office announced the requirement under the Immigration Rules to register with the police, known as the Police Registration Scheme, has ended.   The previous Appendix 2: police registration has also been removed from the Immigration Rules.

This means students are no longer required to register with the police.
