Moving house change of address

If you move home within Surrey, on a temporary or permanent basis, you must complete a change of address form and attach proof of address to the application, so that continuing eligibility from the new address can be assessed.

If this is approved, then arrangements will need to be reviewed and it should not be assumed that the transport arrangements will not change. The period of time the review will take depends on whether the child can be added to an existing alternative route, or new arrangements need to be put in place.

For this reason, please give as much notice as possible of the address change. Please note that the transport provider is not able to agree to continue to provide transport to a new address without the approval of the Council.

If you choose to move home to another borough, please note that this new borough becomes financially responsible for your child's transport effective from the date they receive paperwork relating to your child.

The Council will work with you, where possible, to cover transport for your child until your new home borough is able to arrange transport for your child themselves.

Please do not email us, thank you.
