If you move after registering for the SEC as a private candidate, check how to update your mailing address in the SEAB Candidates Portal. Keep your exam arrangements based on your latest official instructions unless SEAB sends you a change.
Under the GCE private-candidate process, SEAB told candidates to update their address in the portal by the stipulated deadline and said it would email further details. Follow the SEC instructions for your year to find the applicable deadline.
- Check the official instructions for the address-update deadline.
- Review the postal code and unit number when saving the address.
- Check the latest venue instructions separately for each upcoming paper.
What to do when you move
Open the portal through SEAB’s official website, look for the address update instructions, and verify the address you submit. If your family moves from a temporary rental to a new flat, for example, use the address where you can reliably receive correspondence and check the saved record afterwards.
What if the deadline has passed?
Contact SEAB through its official help channel if the address field is unavailable or the update window has closed. Under GCE guidance, private candidates who had not updated their address before results release and missed their result slip or certificate were told to contact SEAB. Check the SEC results instructions for how documents are issued in your year.
Frequently asked questions
Does changing my address move my exam centre?
Treat the address update and venue assignment as separate matters. Use the existing official venue unless you receive revised instructions.
Can I share my new address in a public comment?
Use the official portal or SEAB’s contact channel for private details, including your mailing address.
