Premium Bonds Change of Address
If you hold Premium Bonds and you're moving home, you need to update your address with NS&I directly. NS&I isn't one of the accounts SlothMove can notify on your behalf, so this guide walks you through updating your Premium Bonds address online yourself. It takes about three minutes.

How to Update Your Premium Bonds Address Online
You can change your Premium Bonds address online with NS&I in a few steps.
- Go to nsandi.com and log in to your online account.

Other Ways to Update Your Premium Bonds Address
By phone
Call NS&I on 08085 007 007 (or +44 1253 832007 from outside the UK) and give them your new address.
Write to NS&I, Sunderland SR43 2SB, including your name, holder’s number, and your previous and new address. Sign the letter. NS&I cannot process an address change without a signature.
What You'll Need Before You Start
- Your Premium Bond holder’s number
- Your previous address
- Your new address
- Your NS&I online account login, if you have one (not required)
Why Keeping Your Premium Bonds Address Up to Date Matters
Keeping your address current with NS&I matters for two reasons.
You could miss prize notifications
NS&I holds over 24 million customers and runs a monthly prize draw. If NS&I has the wrong address on file, prize notifications, account statements, and maturity notices go to your old property instead of to you. If you win a prize and NS&I cannot reach you, the prize is held until you’re traced.
It reduces the risk of mail fraud
If your financial mail is still being sent to a previous address, it can end up in someone else’s hands. Updating your address as soon as you move keeps your financial correspondence with you.
Who Else Needs to Know You've Moved
Updating Premium Bonds is one part of a house move. Most people also need to notify their council, energy and water suppliers, the electoral roll, DVLA, HMRC, the TV Licence, and their GP surgery.
- Council, for council tax and local services.
- Water, gas, and electricity providers, to keep billing accurate.
- Electoral roll, to stay registered at your new address.
- DVLA, for your driving licence and vehicle logbook (V5C).
- HMRC, so your tax and benefit records are correct.
- TV Licence, a legal requirement if you watch live TV or BBC iPlayer.
- GP surgery, to keep your medical records current.

What else should I update when I move house?
