    Depends on where you are from and where you currently live.

    Commonwealth citizens with leave to remain can register in the UK 

    A foreign national with leave to remain can only register in Wales or Scotland. 


  • Thanks

    does it really make a difference to your credit file?
  • For somebody trying to climb the credit ladder it can certainly help. It may make less difference to somebody with an established positive credit file.

    Absolutely. It's a way of verifying who you are and where you live.

    It's not a showstopper if you're not on it. Plenty of people buy houses who aren't eligible to vote but should definitely register if you can.
