Getting started : Completing your census online
Use your access code to open an online census form.
You don’t have to fill in the form all at once. You can save your progress at any time by selecting “save and sign out”. Don’t forget to select “submit” when you’re finished.
If you lose your access code, you can request a new code to fill in your online form.
If you need support to get online, you can go to one of the Census Support Centres.
You can also ask someone you trust to help you, for example a family member or friend.
If you prefer not to do the census online, you can request a paper form.
Devices you can use
You can use any smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer to fill in your online form. You can start it on one device and finish it on another, as long as you use the same access code.
You can use a public computer
Make sure you protect your access code to keep your information safe.
You should:
- treat your access code the same way you would a password
- make sure you select “save and sign out” if you haven’t finished, or select “submit” if you’re all done
- not leave behind anything which has your access code details on
When you’ve finished
Check to make sure you’ve completed each section before you submit the form.
You won’t be able to view your information after selecting submit.
