Update my details FAQs

I’ve been contacted to update my details. How do I know it’s genuine?

We’ll contact you via email, letter and phone call. We may use a combination of these channels, depending what contact details we have available for you. 

If we call you, you’ll be asked several security questions to confirm your identity.
