Boats, caravans and other mobile homes : Boats, vans or tents in a permanent location
Mobile households include continuous cruisers and campers. Accommodation includes boats, vans, tents, yurts and any structure that can be moved from place to place.
The easiest way for you to take part in the census is to order a code to be sent to you by text. This will allow you to access your online census form.
In Wales, you will have the option to complete the census in either English or Welsh.
Time split between mobile household and fixed address
I stay in mobile accommodation most of the time
If you also have a fixed address, but you spend most of your time living in your mobile accommodation, you will need to complete a census for your mobile household. When asked for your address, please give as much information as you can about where your mobile accommodation is located overnight on Sunday 21 March 2021.
You will also need to ensure a form is completed for your home address.
If registered with Royal Mail
We will send you a letter containing an access code to open your online census form.
If not registered with Royal Mail
If you live on a campsite or in a marina, a census officer will deliver your letter.
If you live on a permanent mooring, pitch or other location, we aim for a census officer to deliver forms to every household they can find.
However, if you haven't received a form by Sunday 21 March 2021, please contact us.
What do I put as my address?
If your accommodation has a registered address, please use it on your form.
If you're staying on the grounds of a premises, please use that address.
If your location has no registered address, please describe your whereabouts as best you can.
I stay at a fixed address most of the time
If you also have a fixed address where you spend most of your time, but you're away overnight in your boat or van on Sunday 21 March 2021, you only need to complete your census form once you get home. You don't need to complete a form for your mobile accommodation.
I need help to complete the form
If you have difficulty filling in the form, try to get a family member or friend to help you.
You can order a replacement code to be sent to you by text. This will allow you to access your online census form.
If there's no one to help, please contact us.
