Has everyone received their census codes and letters for the census? We haven't had anything yet and I wondered if I was the only one.

YukoandHiro · 04/03/2021 21:15

We live in a block of flats. Neighbour has received it but we haven't.

Got ours yesterday in the North East

Akire · 04/03/2021 21:20

Had mine today london, only had the watch out post card last week. There are going to be a lot of people who just throw it away then who knows what.

Changethetoner · 04/03/2021 21:22

There was an advert on tv tonight saying the census was coming. didn't pay much attention.

AnneLovesGilbert · 04/03/2021 21:23

Came yesterday, south east, and we hadn’t had a card in advance.

DitchedBitch · 04/03/2021 21:23

I believe the census froms from March to June so we're right at the start of it. Most people won't have had anything yet

Same as Anne!
HavfrueDenizKisi · 04/03/2021 21:30

Arrived today. London.

Don't remember receiving a card earlier though.

Mine came this morning. Have gone online to request a paper form so I have the opportunity to make my view on the self-ID question known in an accompanying letter.

Impatientwino · 04/03/2021 21:37

Ours came today. Hertfordshire

whatsthis4 · 04/03/2021 21:39

Got ours today..north west

iloveredwine · 04/03/2021 21:44

Got ours today in Surrey

Does anyone know what the situation is if someone from your household is temporarily based outside of the Uk on census day? It used to be you had to fill in only who was in your house on the actual day including visitors but my experience of the census is from 1911 and before so that might be a bit out of date now 😂

HemanOrSheRa · 04/03/2021 21:59

The census date this year is Sunday 21st March so there is plenty of time for your letter to arrive.

indemMUND · 04/03/2021 22:09

Nothing. NW.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 04/03/2021 22:13

Had ours a few days ago.

Plenty of time yet, since you’re not supposed to do it until the 21st.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 04/03/2021 22:14

@user88899, the bumf does have instructions for those circs.

Good idea.
