How to complete the census : Who should complete the census

Second homes

If you have a second home then you will need to complete the census for both properties.

People with no fixed address

You may be living in temporary accommodation or have no fixed address. You will still need to complete the census for the place you are currently living. This may include:

  • boats
  • mobile homes
  • refuges
  • homeless shelters

Armed forces

Members of the armed forces will need to complete the census for their usual address in the UK. This applies when:

  • you spend most of your time at your place of work elsewhere
  • you are serving onboard a ship

You do not need to complete the census if you are a member of the foreign armed forces, or your permanent base is outside the UK.
