Am I meant to have had a letter about the census?

[CatNamedEaster]

I had a vague "there is a census" letter about a month ago but nothing since so assumed there would be something else arriving at some point. Speaking to someone today, they have had a letter with login details to complete it online!
Is anyone else receiving their login details as late as this week?
I didn't realise the exact date it's happening until today so I don't feel optimistic that a letter is actually going to arrive really.
Last question, if I can't complete it, can I just not bother to start work next week as I'll cease to exist?

It looks like a circular letter, mine came through the door rolled up with a load of junk mail.

Perhaps you got it but threw it out?

Go onto the website- you can get a login code generated and texted to your phone.

I haven't had one either. I just googled Census 2021 and then put my phone number to get a code texted to me, then filled it in.

Letters went out last week, however if your local delivery office is stuggling there might be a delay.

It's based on your houshold on the 21st so still time, but you can request a new code if you're worried.

census.gov.uk/en/request/access-code/enter-address/

There have been delays with the letters in some areas but I would have thought most people should have received their letter by now.

If it doesn't arrive, just go to the census.gov.uk website and you can request a new online code that will allow you to complete it for your household.

Dammit, so I will still have to go to work then? Oh bollocks.
Thanks, will get my code and confirm for my descendents that I am still in the same sodding job that I was in 10 years ago.

Ours only arrived today (with what looked like a whole week's worth of other post).

No one I know has had anything about the census.

Be warned, it takes bloody ages to complete! I thought it'd take a few mins - half an hour later I was still ploughing through it!

i ordered a large print paper copy and it has not come.

They say ten minutes per person.

I’m sure I’ve never completed one before, received mine weeks ago

I've definitely never filled a census in before.

The census shouldn't be completed until the 21st, so I don't understand why people are doing it now.

I had a proper letter with my code on 2 weeks ago

U can do it early if u know who will be I y our home over night in 21st

For a lot of us, nothing is going to change in the next few days.

Who sees the info? I've said XP can stay over Sunday night for DS' birthday but now I'm worrying someone might think he lives here and might tell him not too

I checked the other day and looks like it’s only for England, and Scotland’s census is not til next year, is that right does anyone know?

Please order the paper form and follow the suggestion in one of the Feminist Chat threads. Self ID does not exist in law and this will explain a sensible approach to take.

Oh and if you are Cornish, there is space for you to say so.

England and Wales.

You can fill it in early.

The only questions related to the 21st are which people are staying overnight in your home on that date.

As most of the country is under lockdown it's not hard to answer
